Researching Schools in Minnesota
Everybody has different criteria when determining where to live. For some it's schools but not all for the same reasons. Some choose based on class size, immersion programs, district reputation, parent reviews, a school the grew up in, test results.... The list goes on.Here are a list of resources I've found (but don't necessarily endorse) to help you do your research and compare to find the best school in MN for you. The MN Department of Education is an overall great resource but here are some other useful direct links.

Again, some data is factual and some opinion so decide what matters most to you when evaluating Minnesota schools.
