Summary

Washington Technology Senior High is a grades 9–12 comprehensive high school at 1495 Rice St in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving 1,063 students, making it the largest school in its comparison group and part of Saint Paul Public Schools. Statewide it ranks 334th of 473 high schools (29th percentile, 1 star) in 2025-26 — modestly above its own district, which ranks 346th of 458. About 81.1% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024-25, and the student-teacher ratio is 19.7, the highest it has been in three years.

Science is the school's clearest strength: 37.6% of students were proficient, well above the 25.5% state rate and nearly double the district's 19.0% — the only nearby school above the state line, and a result that has held up over several years. Graduation rates also beat the district by 7–11 points in each of the last five years, reaching 85.3% in 2024-25 versus 77.8% district and 84.9% state, while dropout fell to 4.4%. Compared with Como Park Senior High, its closest peer (1,034 students, same 19.7 ratio, same district), Washington graduates 8 points more, drops out less, and more than doubles science proficiency — and it does so while serving a higher-poverty population (81% vs. 69% free/reduced lunch).

Math and reading remain the biggest concerns. Math proficiency was 13.5% versus 44.9% statewide, stuck in the 13–17% band for four straight years, and reading fell to 22.4% in 2025-26 from roughly 37–38% the two prior years. Special education students ranked at the 9th percentile (0 stars), down from the 52nd percentile two years earlier — the most concerning single decline in the data. The key thing to understand is the gap between the two pictures: Washington graduates students at near-state rates while testing far below state averages in math and reading, so it is worth asking how the school supports proficiency alongside completion.
