Summary

St. Paul High School serves 56 students in grades 9–12 in Saint Paul, Kansas, and is much smaller than the nearby high schools in this comparison. Its latest results show a strong overall position: students scored above the state in English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science.

ELA is the school’s clearest strength: its 55% result was 9 percentage points above the state and 11 above the Chetopa-St. Paul district. It ranked second among these five schools, behind Girard High at 57%. In math, St. Paul scored 45%, above the state by 4 points and the district by 5, placing second behind Chanute High at 50%. Science is a mixed picture: St. Paul had the highest nearby result at 42%, above the state and nearby-school average, but it was 11 points below its district. The school therefore compares well with nearby schools in all three subjects, while science is the key area to watch relative to its district.

Results have shifted over time: ELA rose from 38% in 2022–23 to 55% in 2025–26, while math fell from 48% to 45% and science from 45% to 42% across the reported years. SchoolDigger ranks St. Paul 49th of 340 Kansas schools, at the 86th percentile, with four stars; it has the highest percentile in this nearby group, though tied for the most stars. Its percentile has climbed 81 points from the 5th percentile in 2017–18, after peaking at the 96th percentile in 2022–23. The school also has the group’s lowest student–teacher ratio, 8.4 compared with a nearby average of 11.2. Its reported free/reduced-lunch rate is 48%, within the nearby range of 44%–66%. These figures provide context, but do not explain the results.
