Summary:
The North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale district includes 18 schools serving students from elementary through high school, plus several alternative and therapeutic programs, with about 10,358 students enrolled in the eastern Twin Cities suburbs. The district is ranked 341 of 458 in Minnesota, placing it in the 26th percentile with a 1-star rating, and district proficiency trails the state in math (29.5% vs. 44.9%), reading (35.3% vs. 48.6%), and science (16.8% vs. 25.5%).
Three schools stand out. Eagle Point Elementary is the district's clearest success: 82nd percentile, 4 stars, and the only school above the state in all three subjects (math 66.2%, reading 58.1%, science 41.6%). Skyview Middle School (40th percentile, 2 stars) is the stronger middle school and beats John Glenn Middle in every subject. Among high schools, Tartan Senior High (35th percentile, 2 stars) outranks North Senior High (23rd percentile, 1 star) in all three subjects and posts a higher graduation rate, 89.5%, though North has the lower dropout rate, 2.3% versus 3.9%. Both exceed the state's 84.9% graduation rate.
The clearest concerns are high school math — North's 10.8% and Tartan's 19.2% proficiency, well below district and state — and middle school science, where John Glenn (6.5%) and Skyview (12.3%) both fall below the district's 16.8%. Elementary results vary widely, from Justice Alan Page Elementary School's 23.5% math to Eagle Point's 66.2%. Many small alternative programs have suppressed test scores; among those with data, 622 Online High School shows a 63.6% graduation rate and 12.1% dropout rate, and 622 Alternative Middle/High School reports 0% math with reading and science suppressed.
