Is Edmond among the best school districts in the nation?

Yes.

Edmond Public Schools and its three high schools are ranked among the top 2% of school districts and the top 6% of nationally ranked high schools according to two 2025 surveys.

Niche’s 2025 ranking, which uses public data, test scores, and parent and student surveys, placed Edmond Public Schools at No.250 out of more than 10,500 school districts, reflecting its consistently high scores across the areas of academics, teachers, culture and diversity, parent/student surveys, resources and facilities, clubs and activities, and sports.

U.S. News & Report’s 2025 review of the best public high schools places Edmond’s three high schools, North, Memorial, and Santa Fe, at No.788, No.1000, and No.1084, respectively, out of the 17,901 nationally ranked schools.
