Summary

Saint Paul Online Middle School is a small public middle school in Saint Paul, MN, serving roughly 145 students in grades 6–8 as part of Saint Paul Public Schools, a district ranked 346th of 458 in Minnesota. The school's own statewide rank has stayed in the bottom decile for several years, sitting at 501st of 546 (8th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–2026, and 84.83% of its students received free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025.

In 2025–2026, 7.5% of students were proficient in math (compared with 27.8% in the district and 44.9% statewide), 19.4% in reading (district 34.2%, state 48.6%), and 3.6% in science (district 19%, state 25.5%). Science is the most severe signal: proficiency fell from 10% in 2022–2023 to 3.23% in 2024–2025 and 3.6% in 2025–2026. Math has crept up from 5.71% in 2022–2023 to 7.5% in 2025–2026, but 6th-grade math proficiency was 0% in 2025–2026, with 8.8% in 7th grade and 12.1% in 8th grade. Reading dropped to a four-year low, and subgroup results for female students, male students, African American students, and low-income students all rank in the bottom fifth of Minnesota schools, though a few of those rankings improved slightly.

Nearby comparisons are useful. Farnsworth Aerospace Upper, just 0.88 miles away, outperforms in all three subjects (math 14.2%, reading 28.2%, science 9.5%). Washington Technology Middle School posts higher math and science but lower reading. Science proficiency is the lowest of any nearby school, below HOPE Community Academy Middle and Academia Cesar Chavez Middle School. Notably, Prodeo Academy St. Paul Middle serves a higher-poverty, smaller student body yet reported 51.5% math and 38.6% reading proficiency — a sign that size and poverty alone don't determine outcomes, though the data cannot prove cause.
