Middle Schools in Saint Paul Public Schools

The Saint Paul Public Schools district in Minnesota operates 10 middle schools serving grades 6-8. These schools vary in size, academic performance, and student demographics, with some standout institutions and areas for improvement across the district.

The top-performing middle schools in the district are Hidden River Middle School, which ranks 241st out of 519 Minnesota middle schools and earns 3 out of 5 stars, and Murray Middle School, which ranks 319th and earns 2 out of 5 stars. These schools have significantly higher math and reading proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Washington Technology Middle School and Battle Creek Middle struggle with low proficiency rates, particularly in math.

The district as a whole faces challenges, with most middle schools scoring well below the state average in math proficiency. However, reading performance is generally stronger, with several schools approaching or exceeding the state average. The district serves a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 48% to 89%. This suggests the need for targeted support and interventions to address the academic disparities and support student success across the Saint Paul Public Schools middle school system.
