City Academy

Schools in the City Academy area consist of exactly one school: City Academy, a high school serving grades 9–12 at 958 Jessie St, Saint Paul, MN 55130-4058, with 135 students enrolled. There are no elementary, middle, or alternative schools in this area. The school is also its own district, City Academy, so district-level results generally mirror the school's results, and there are no other schools within the area to compare against.

That single school stands out for its position near the bottom of Minnesota's statewide rankings. Its district rank is 440 of 458, the 4th percentile, with 0 stars. Rank history shows the same pattern: 444 of 473 (6th percentile) in 2025–2026, 484 of 492 (2nd percentile) in 2018–2019, and 464 of 489 (5th percentile) in 2016–2017. On tests, math proficiency is 0% in All Grades and 11th Grade for 2025–2026, and 0% in All Grades for 2024–2025, compared with state values of 44.9%, 35.3%, and 45.21%. Science is 7.7% proficient in All Grades and End of Course for 2025–2026, against state values of 25.5% and 35%. Reading results for All Grades and 10th Grade are suppressed by the state, so reading performance is unknown and should not be read as either a strength or a weakness.

Completion and context data are mixed. The graduation rate is 59.1%, well below the state's 84.9%, while the dropout rate is 1.4%, lower than the state's 4.2% — a combination that may reflect small cohorts, student mobility, or differing definitions, and should be interpreted cautiously. The free/reduced lunch rate is 87.41%, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.1, though no state comparator is provided. With only 135 students, percentages can swing easily year to year, and privacy suppression is more likely, so the data set remains limited.
