Summary:
High Schools located in New Century School include two schools serving grades 6–12 at the same Saint Paul, MN address: New Century School Secondary (284 students) and NCS Online Program (23 students), for a combined enrollment of about 307.
New Century School Secondary is the larger and more data-complete option. Its brightest spots are graduation outcomes: a 100.0% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate in 2024–2025, well ahead of the state's 84.9% and 4.2%. Its 11th-grade math proficiency of 41.2% also tops the district (40.5%) and the state (35.3%), the only reported metric where the school clearly beats the state. Grade-level results vary widely, though — math runs from 9.3% in 6th grade to 41.2% in 11th grade — and overall math (20.6%) and science (10.4%) remain below state averages of 44.9% and 25.5%. Science is the weakest reported subject at every level. About 95.77% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.
NCS Online Program is very small, and much of its data is suppressed by the state, so it is hard to judge fairly. Its reported 2025–2026 all-grade results are 9.1% in math and 18.2% in reading, with science suppressed; all grade-level results are also suppressed. No graduation, dropout, or student-teacher ratio data are reported. Its free/reduced lunch rate is 86.96%. The district ranks 374 of 458 schools (18th percentile, 1 star), and New Century School Secondary's rank history is 355 of 473 (25th percentile, 1 star) — showing that test proficiency, not graduation outcomes, drives the overall ratings.
