After completion of the winter sports season, a total of 23 schools have scored over 1,000 points in the MaxPreps Cup standings, with nearly a quarter of those schools coming from Florida and Minnesota.
The MaxPreps Cup uses state championships and national rankings to recognize the top high school athletic programs in the country.
Minnesota also has three schools with over 1,000 points including two,
Edina (1,785 points) and
Wayzata (Plymouth) (1,761), that rank among the top three schools in the country.
Minnetonka is the third school from the state with 1,100 points.
The top five schools from each state are listed with their MaxPreps Cup formula point total. Schools receive points based on state championship and state runner-up finishes along with placement in national rankings. Categories are weighted based on the size of state, popularity of sport, playoff enrollment division level and number of schools competing in each enrollment division. Points are also given for finishing among the top 25 teams in national rankings for each sport (when available).
