Summary:
The two schools in Paul PCS serve 767 students in grades 5–12: Paul PCS - International High School serves grades 9–12, and Paul PCS - Middle School serves grades 5–8. In 2025–26, the middle school had the stronger all-grades results, but both schools were below state results in math. The clearest shared challenge is math: proficiency was 15% at the middle school and 3% at the high school, compared with 28% statewide.
Paul PCS - Middle School leads the pair on both reported all-grades subjects in 2025–26: its ELA result was 37%, versus 29% at the high school, and its math result was 15%, versus 3%—gaps of 8 and 13 percentage points, respectively. Its ELA was closer to the state result than its math. The high school has a notable strength beyond test scores: its 2024–25 graduation rate was 94%, compared with 79% statewide and 92% districtwide. Its English II end-of-course result was also slightly above the state result, at 38.4% versus 38.0%; other reported end-of-course results were below state figures.
Recent results moved in opposite directions at the two schools. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, Paul PCS - International High School fell 5 percentage points in ELA and 4 points in math, while Paul PCS - Middle School rose 2 points in each subject; statewide results increased 2 points in both. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking also declined more at the high school, from the 71st to the 43rd percentile, than at the middle school, from the 60th to the 53rd. For context, the high school has 439 students, a 9.1 student–teacher ratio and 43% directly certified for free meals (school year 2024–2025); the middle school has 328 students, an 11.1 ratio and 50% directly certified for free meals that year. The schools serve different grade spans, so their all-grades results are not like-grade comparisons.
