Summary

St. Paul Elementary School is a public elementary school in Saint Paul, AR, serving 115 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Huntsville School District, which is ranked 164 out of 250 districts in Arkansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, St. Paul Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (26.9%), Reading (28.4%), and Mathematics (31.3%) were significantly lower than the district and state. This has contributed to the school's low statewide ranking, typically falling in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, St. Paul Elementary School ranked 346 out of 495 elementary schools in the state, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One potential factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.19% in 2021-2022 to 86.96% in 2023-2024. In comparison, Elkins Elementary School, a nearby public elementary school, ranked 40 out of 495 Arkansas elementary schools in 2024-2025 and had significantly higher proficiency rates in all subject areas. However, St. Paul Elementary School's lower student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.6 to 13.7 in recent years, could be an asset if the school can effectively leverage this resource to provide more individualized attention and support for students.
