Summary

Saint Paul Online Elementary School is a K–5 school of 109 students in the Saint Paul Public Schools district, located at 780 Wheelock Pkwy W on Saint Paul's East Side — by far the smallest school in its comparison group, where the next smallest, LIFE Prep, enrolls 134 and most nearby schools enroll 400–640.

Academically, Saint Paul Online has ranked in the bottom decile of Minnesota elementary schools in every year on record — 8th percentile in 2025–26, after a 3rd-percentile trough in 2024–25. In 2025–26, 7.5% of students met math standards, 19.5% reading and 11.8% science, against district averages of 27.8%, 34.2% and 19.0% and state averages of 44.9%, 48.6% and 25.5%. Math is the defining gap at roughly one-sixth of the state proficiency rate; reading has consistently run about double math in every year of data. The school's strongest relative measure is its low-income students, who ranked at the 20th percentile in 2025–26 — well above its overall 8th-percentile rank.

Two features stand out. Staffing is unusually favorable: 9.5 students per teacher is the lowest ratio of any SPPS school in this comparison set (Frost Lake 13.1, Txuj Ci HMong Language & Culture Lo 11.2, Bruce F Vento Elementary 11.4), yet results stay at the bottom, so small classes have not produced higher proficiency here. Results also swing sharply by grade: 4th grade posted 0% in both math and reading, while 5th-grade reading reached 38.9%, matching the district average and the highest 5th-grade reading result among nearby SPPS schools — a swing of about 39 points between adjacent cohorts. With only 109 students, one student can move a grade-level figure by several points, so year-to-year changes should be read cautiously. Poverty is not what distinguishes this school (about 86% qualify for free/reduced lunch, similar to most neighbors); Edgerton Elementary, 1.18 miles away in the Roseville Public School District, posts 37.9% math and 40.5% reading.
