PRAIRIE CARE EDINA - PHP

PRAIRIE CARE EDINA - PHP is a public school that is part of the Intermediate School District 287 school district, located in EDINA, MN with about 18 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, PRAIRIE CARE EDINA - PHP has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

PrairieCare in Edina operates a **Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)**, which serves as an intensive outpatient mental health service designed for youth and adolescents who require more support than traditional weekly therapy but do not need 24/7 inpatient hospitalization. Located at 6545 France Avenue South, the facility provides a structured, therapeutic environment where students spend a significant portion of their day engaged in clinical interventions, group therapy, and psychiatric management.

The primary goal of this program is to bridge the gap between intensive inpatient care and routine outpatient treatment. By offering a comprehensive "school-day" model of care, PrairieCare Edina helps students manage acute mental health challenges—such as depression, anxiety, or behavioral regulation issues—while maintaining their connection to their home life and community. The program is designed to be highly collaborative, often coordinating with the student’s home school district to ensure that academic progress is maintained and that the transition back to a full-time school setting is supported once the student is ready.
