==Education==
Ada and neighboring community [[Borup, Minnesota|Borup]] (located approximately 8 miles south of Ada on [[Minnesota State Highway 9]]) are served by the Ada-Borup Schools.  Both the elementary and high schools are located in Ada, following the closing of the Borup site in 2010.  The elementary building serves preK-6 students and was built in 1978; the adjacent high school houses students in grades 7-12 and was constructed in 1998 following the devastating [[1997 Red River flood]], which destroyed the former 1953 building on Ada's east side.  The district covers over 345 square miles and serves approximately 530 students.

The Ada-Borup Schools have a graduation rate near 98%, as well as a diverse offering of courses, including "College in the High School" classes.  Further, Ada-Borup Secondary was awarded a bronze medal by ''[[U.S. News & World Report]]'' for three consecutive years, recognizing it among the nation's top high schools.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ada.k12.mn.us/about_us/about_us.html |title=About Us |access-date=June 12, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120701105417/http://ada.k12.mn.us/about_us/about_us.html |archive-date=July 1, 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
