There is a lot of debate about this, but the general concensus is no.
Some SEO people say that .edu has high rankings, but Google denies this. And I believe google... .edu domains probably just have more backlinks (in general) than other extensions, because they are resource sites.
I have had number 1 rankings in search engines with .US and .WS.. which are not premium extensions in anyway..
So, I doubt that large search engines value one kind of extension more than another.
