Summary

Saint Paul Online High School is an online grade 9–12 school serving 324 students in Saint Paul Public Schools in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It serves a high-poverty population — 79.01% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025 — and had a student-teacher ratio of 17.9. Its statewide rank has stayed low in recent years, ranging from 346th to 407th out of roughly 450–480 schools (10th to 27th percentile, 0–1 stars).

Graduation and dropout have improved sharply, though from a very low base. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 76.2%, up from 63.1% the year before and 49.2% in 2022–2023, but still below the district's 77.8% and the state's 84.9%. The dropout rate fell to 4.9%, better than the district's 5.6% but above the state's 4.2%. The nearest comparison, Johnson Senior High, is 0.18 miles away with a similar free/reduced lunch rate (77.32%) yet higher graduation (87.7%), lower dropout (3.5%), and higher proficiency in math, reading, and science. Even so, Saint Paul Online outperforms several nearby schools on graduation, including LEAP High School (10.2%), Alternative Learning Center Gateway to College (47.2%), and City Academy (59.1%).

Test proficiency remains below district and state levels: in 2025–2026, 14.3% in math, 25.9% in reading, and 11.1% in science, compared with district rates of 27.8%, 34.2%, and 19.0%. Math has climbed steadily (from 0% in 2022–2023), while reading and science have fluctuated. English Language Learner students are a relative strength — the school ranked 39th of 94 (59th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025 and 1st of 90 (99th percentile, 5 stars) in 2022–2023 — but rankings for female, male, and low-socioeconomic students sit in the bottom tenth to mid-teens percentiles. Some scores, such as City Academy's reading proficiency and Face To Face Academy's science proficiency, are suppressed by the state and should be treated as unknown.
