All four Westonka schools - Hilltop Primary School, Shirley Hills Primary School, Grandview Middle School and Mound Westonka High School - also received “A” grades from the ranking and review website. Additionally, Westonka ranks ninth this year among “Districts with the Best Teachers in Minnesota.”
The annual Niche rankings are based on analysis of key statistics and reviews from students and parents using data from the U.S. Department of Education. Ranking factors include state test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores, teacher quality and public school district ratings. [Learn more about the Niche ranking methodology]
“We’re proud to again be recognized nationally for what we already know about Westonka Schools - that we have truly exceptional teachers, staff, students and families who are committed to excellence in all areas,” said Superintendent Kevin Borg. “We are fortunate to have strong partnerships with our families that allow us to reach this level of success year after year.”
The Niche recognition follows Westonka’s No. 7 state ranking earlier this school year by SchoolDigger, which ranks Minnesota districts based solely on the most current math, reading and science Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments.
