Maple Grove Senior High Among Minnesota’s Top High Schools: US News
MAPLE GROVE, MN — Maple Grove Senior High just missed out on a spot in the top 25 of U.S. News & World Report’s ranking of the best high schools in Minnesota.

U.S. News & World Report analyzed 866 high schools in Minnesota for its 2022 list, meaning Maple Grove Senior High ranked in the top 3 percent of all Minnesota high schools.

High schools were ranked on six measures for this year's list: college readiness, college curriculum breadth, state assessment performance, state assessment proficiency, reading and math proficiency, reading and math performance, underserved student performance, and graduation rates.
Data used in the 2022 ranking is from the 2019-20 academic school year. U.S. News adjusted its calculation of these measures to account for the impact COVID-19 had on schools in the 2019-20 school year.
Since most states closed schools for in-person instruction starting in March 2020 — typically just before most states conduct assessments — the U.S. Department of Education granted waivers allowing all states to forgo state testing for the 2019-20 school year.
