Wayzata High School is a comprehensive public high school in Plymouth, Minnesota, United States, a suburb of Minneapolis. The high school, operated by Wayzata Public Schools, had about 3711 students in grades 9 to 12 as of 10/1/23,^[2] making it Minnesota's largest secondary school by enrollment. It is also Minnesota's largest secondary school by size, with an interior of 658,000 square feet (61,100 m²).^[3][4] The district boundaries include all or part of eight municipalities: Corcoran, Maple Grove, Medicine Lake, Medina, Minnetonka, Orono, Plymouth, and Wayzata.^[2] The school finished an expansion project in 2017 with the new capacity of 3,900. It is part of the Lake Conference. Scott Gengler is the principal.

In 2015, Newsweek ranked the school 150th on its "List of the 500 Top High Schools in America".^[5] U.S. News & World Report ranked the school 432nd among 21,000 schools nationally and 6th in Minnesota in 2021.^[6]

The first school in the Wayzata area was established in around 1855. Classes were taught in homes until a one-room school was built near what is now the second green of the Wayzata Country Club. This school burned down (for unknown reasons) and a new school was constructed on what is now Wayzata's main street near downtown Wayzata.^[7]

What are now the West and Central middle schools were each once the high school building. The West Middle School building served as the high school from 1940 to 1960. Central Middle School's campus was home to the high school from 1960 to 1997. The current Wayzata High School campus was completed in 1997 and classes began in the 1997–98 school year.^[7]

On February 25, 2014, voters approved a referendum for a $109 million bond request to expand the high school and improve security and technology. Part of the provisions include the purchasing of adjacent land belonging to the Elm Creek Golf Course and the building of a new wing. Construction took place from 2014 to 2017.^[8]

As of the 2015–16 school year, Wayzata High School offers 24 Advanced Placement classes and one Advanced Placement Pilot course (AP Accounting).^[9]

The school also hosts the Minnesota PSEO program, allowing students in 11th and 12th grades to receive college credit.^[10]

Wayzata High School has consistently exceeded the state and national average scores on the ACT.^[11]

In 2014, the school began a district-wide technology program that issued each student a district-owned iPad.^[12]

At the start of the 2016–17 school year, the school started a new support block called OurTime (formally called MyTime). It is designed to meet the student's academic needs during the school day. During this time, students receive academic support, participate in relearning, make-up labs or tests and quizzes, study quietly, and collaborate with classmates on group projects. The block is 30 minutes long and takes place between 1st and 2nd blocks.
