Summary

St. Paul High School is a public high school located in Saint Paul, AR, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 107 students. It 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.

One of the key strengths of St. Paul High School is its very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.9 to 7.6 over the past few years. This is significantly lower than the nearby Huntsville High School (9.6) and Elkins High School (8.8). However, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.67% to 74.77%, which is higher than the nearby Huntsville High School (65.23%) and Elkins High School (38.62%). Additionally, St. Paul High School spends $14,537 per student, which is higher than the nearby Huntsville High School ($11,470) and Elkins High School ($9,055).

Academically, St. Paul High School's performance, as measured by proficiency rates on ATLAS and ACT Aspire tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and science. However, the school has shown some strengths in English Language Arts and Reading. Over the past few years, the school's statewide ranking has declined, from a high of 65 out of 269 Arkansas high schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 157 out of 295 in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school is struggling to keep up with the performance of other high schools in the state.
