Fridley High School: Difference between revisions
No edit summary |
Webistrator (talk | contribs) The references to US News' rankings of the school are no longer relevant. The rankings as of 2021/2 place it in the low 25 percentile range nationally (13,394-17,857) and 115th in state rankings (https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/minnesota). Also, there is no such "Silver" ranking in the US News evaluation. As a result, I removed all information based on outdated 2015 references. |
