Summary:

Zip code 66771 has three schools serving students from elementary through high school, all in the Chetopa-St. Paul district, with 262 students enrolled altogether. All three schools are above Kansas averages in 2025–26 all-grades ELA, math, and science; their equal-weighted averages lead the state by 5 percentage points in ELA, 4 in math, and 15 in science. The science advantage is not shared evenly: the area’s clearest standout is St. Paul Elementary, whose science result lifts the overall average.

St. Paul Elementary leads in science at 74%, compared with 44% at St. Paul Middle and 42% at St. Paul High—a 32-point spread. St. Paul High leads ELA at 55%, followed by St. Paul Elementary at 50% and St. Paul Middle at 48%. High and Elementary are nearly tied in math at 45.5% and 45.3%, while Middle is at 43%. St. Paul Middle has the lowest all-grades result in each subject, but remains above the state by 2 points in ELA, 2 in math, and 6 in science.

Recent score changes favor Elementary and High in ELA and math, while Middle declined: Elementary rose 6 points in ELA and 12 in math, and High rose 12 and 3 points; Middle fell 7 and 5 points, respectively. Elementary’s science increased 20 points, while Middle’s fell 15. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile position from 2023–24 to 2025–26 rose 20 points for Elementary and 10 for High, but fell 28 for Middle.

These figures describe different school profiles, not explanations for achievement.
