Summary

North Senior High is a large public high school in North Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving grades 9–12 with 1,649 students in the North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale district. It is by far the biggest school in its local comparison group: the nearby options — 622 Online High School, Passages Transition Program, 916 Mahtomedi Academy, and Lionsgate Academy AIM among them — are small alternative, online, transition, or therapeutic programs enrolling between 9 and 140 students, and several report no test data at all. North Senior High alone enrolls more than three and a half times their combined total, so comparisons should be read with that in mind.

The school's 2025–26 test scores are 10.8% in math, 30.6% in reading, and 20.8% in science — the lowest figures in all three subjects across the four years provided. Science is the only subject where North Senior High outperforms its district (20.8% versus 16.8%), though it stays below the state's 25.5%. Math is the clearest weakness: 10.8% compared with 29.5% in the district and 44.9% statewide, and 11th-grade math is 10.8% versus 14.5% district and 35.3% state. Reading, once above district, has now slipped below it (30.6% versus 35.3%). The school's state rank has fallen from the 63rd percentile in 2018–19 to the 23rd percentile (363 of 473) in 2025–26.

Completion outcomes are stronger than test scores suggest. In 2024–25, graduation was 87.8% and dropout 2.3%, both better than district (86.3% and 3.4%) and state (84.9% and 4.2%) figures, and the graduation rate is the highest among nearby schools that report one, ahead of White Bear Area Learning Center (82.2%), 622 Alternative Middle/High School (71.7%), and 622 Online High School (63.6%). About 63.49% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–25, and the student-teacher ratio rose to 22.9. The school sits in a district ranked 341 of 458 statewide (26th percentile), while neighboring Mahtomedi Public School District ranks 12th of 458.
