St. Louis Park Public Schools

Description

St. Louis Park Senior High was recently recognized by Newsweek Magazine (June 2010) as the #2 rated Minnesota Public High School. Our emphasis on academic excellence is highly valued by our students and staff.

A majority of our students take advanced courses, including Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses. These courses help prepare our graduates for post-secondary educational experiences all over the world.

Because our school is relatively small (about 1,300 students 9-12) it is very likely that each student will develop close relationships with multiple staff members. These relationships help us maintain a small town feel to our organization.

More than 70% of our students participate in athletic and/or co-curricular activities, many in more than one. For example, it is not uncommon for one of our students to participate in jazz band, play on the soccer team, and write for our award winning school newspaper, the Echo. The opportunity to participate in these types of activities is a wonderful bonus for our students.

Finally, St. Louis Park Senior High is a community school located in the middle of a real neighborhood. Our students are fortunate to learn and grow with classmates from all racial, ethnic, religious, and socio-economic groups.
