Summary

Saint Paul Online High School is a public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in the Saint Paul Public Schools district, with 310 students enrolled.

While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota high schools, it faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly for female and low-socioeconomic status students. Only 12.5% of students were proficient in math and reading in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 34.96% and 51.26%, respectively. However, the school performs relatively well for English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the top 40% of Minnesota high schools for this subgroup. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 83.3% in 2022-2023 to 76.5% in 2023-2024, while the dropout rate has increased from 7.3% to 15.7% during the same period.

Compared to nearby traditional high schools, such as Johnson Senior High and Leap High School, Saint Paul Online High School performs significantly worse on academic measures. However, the school outperforms some nearby charter high schools, such as MMSA Secondary School and City Academy, which have even lower academic proficiency rates. The school's relative success in supporting ELL students and the concerning trends in graduation and dropout rates provide valuable insights for the school and district to address.
