Summary

Avalon School is a small public high school at 700 Glendale St in Saint Paul, MN, serving grades 9–12 with 182 students in a neighborhood that also contains several tiny alternative and online schools. It is its own single-school Avalon School district, ranking 98th of 458 Minnesota districts — the 79th percentile with 4 stars — with a 10.6 student–teacher ratio and a free/reduced-price lunch rate of 25.27%.

Reading is the standout: all-grades proficiency was 71.4% in 2025–2026, versus 48.6% statewide, and 10th-grade reading was 71.4% against 42.5% statewide. Special education students rank 18th of 224 schools statewide (92nd percentile, 5 stars), and low-income students rank 84th of 377 (78th percentile, 4 stars). Science has topped state levels, though the 2025–2026 End-of-Course result was exactly at the state mark (35%). Math is the persistent soft spot: 22.9% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 31.8% and the state’s 44.9%, and down nearly 15 points from 38.24% the prior year. Venture Academy High School posts 0% math, 13.8% reading, and a 61.4% graduation rate, while Jennings Community School has a 38.1% graduation rate. Minnesota Online High School and Avalon Online School — the latter at the same address — have most or all scores suppressed by the state, making Avalon one of the few nearby schools with a meaningful academic picture. Avalon Online serves 18 students at a 26.8 ratio with a 66.67% free/reduced-lunch rate.

Graduation and dropout tell a different story. Avalon’s graduation rate was 75.5% in 2024–2025 — below the 84.9% state rate and below state in every reported year — though it is improving from 61.3% to 71.7% to 75.5%. Dropout has moved the wrong way: 2.3% and 4.0% in 2020–21 and 2021–22, then 11.3%, 10.2%, and 10.2% recently, roughly 2.4 times the 4.2% state figure. The 2025–2026 statewide rank slipped from 65 of 450 (86th percentile) to 131 of 473 (72nd percentile), a 14-point decline that lines up with the math drop rather than broad erosion. Avalon remains the clear academic leader of its immediate cluster, but its two vulnerabilities are math and the completion pipeline.
