Summary

Face To Face Academy is a small public high school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving grades 9–12 with 83 students, and it ranks 252 of 473 Minnesota high schools (47th percentile, 2 stars) for 2025–2026 — almost identical to its Face To Face Academy district, which ranks 242 of 458. About 79.52% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, and the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.6 is lower than every nearby school with a reported ratio, including Community of Peace Academy High School (14.8), Johnson Senior High (19.0) and STEP Academy Charter School (22.8).

Math is the clearest academic bright spot. Proficiency was 42.9% in 2025–2026, close to the state's 44.9% and above the state's 35.3% for 11th grade, and well above nearby schools such as Saint Paul Online High School (14.3%), HOPE Community Academy High School (12.9%) and City Academy (0%). In 2024–2025, the school's low-income students ranked 73 of 333 schools (78th percentile, 4 stars). Reading is far more uneven: 26.7% in 2025–2026, below the state's 48.6%, after 58.33% in 2024–2025. Science results are suppressed, so science performance is simply unknown.

The biggest concern is completion. Face To Face's 2024–2025 graduation rate was 4.7%, against 84.9% statewide, and was the lowest among the compared schools: LEAP High School was 10.2%, City Academy 59.1%, and STEP 95.3%. The dropout rate was 9.5% — above the state's 4.2%, but a real improvement from roughly 20–24% in earlier years. With only 83 students, year-to-year swings are large, and the same-district alternative Face to Face Academy Online, at 12 students with most test data suppressed, offers little for comparison.
