Summary:
The St. Paul City High School is the sole high school in the St. Paul City School district, serving grades 9-12. With a total enrollment of 150 students, the school is a public charter institution that ranks 442 out of 450 Minnesota high schools and holds a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, St. Paul City High School struggles, with proficiency rates on MCA-III assessments significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 0% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 34.96%. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 84.2% is also below the state average, while its dropout rate of 4.4% is higher than the state norm. These academic challenges may be linked to the high percentage (84%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
Despite the school's low performance, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8, suggesting that class sizes are not a significant barrier to student learning. However, the school's overall ranking in the bottom 2% of Minnesota high schools and its consistently poor academic outcomes compared to state averages indicate that the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
