Summary:

ZIP code 55070 in Saint Francis, Minnesota contains four high-school-level schools, all within St. Francis Area Schools: one large comprehensive high school and three small alternative or transition settings. St. Francis High serves grades 9–12 with 1,139 students — roughly 82% of the 1,391 high schoolers in the ZIP. Saints Academy (144 students, grades 7–12), Saints Online High School (87 students, grades 9–12) and Transition 15 (21 students, grade 12 only) make up the rest.

Outcomes differ sharply among these schools. St. Francis High graduates 95.7% of its students with a 1.1% dropout rate — well above the district's 89.0% and the state's 84.9%. Saints Online High School sits close to the state average (82.5% graduation, 5.0% dropout), while Saints Academy graduates 58.3% with a 12.5% dropout rate — about 26 points below the state. That is a 37-point graduation gap inside a single ZIP code. At St. Francis High, science is a clear strength (42% proficient vs 25.5% statewide), while reading lags (32.4% vs 48.6% statewide), and its state rank slipped from the 74th to the 55th percentile in the most recent year.

Staffing and poverty data move in the opposite direction from school size: Transition 15 has the highest free/reduced lunch share (52.38%) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (6.4), while St. Francis High has the lowest FRL share (26.34%) and the highest ratio (19.0). Parents should also note that the state suppresses test scores for small student groups, so Saints Online High School has no proficiency data reported at all and Transition 15 reports no outcome data — those blanks mean "unknown," not "failing."
