Results here are sharply split into two groups. Capitol Hill Magnet/Rondo ranks 132 of 869 (85th percentile) and posts Math 58.8%, Reading 65.8%, and Science 30.4% — all above the state's 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Twin Cities German Immersion Charter ranks 264 of 869 (70th percentile) with the ZIP's top Reading (68.3%) and Science (32.8%). The other five schools fall far below state benchmarks: Benjamin E Mays IB World School (Math 3.8%, Reading 8.6%, Science 0%), St. Paul City Primary School, East African Magnet School, St. Paul City High School, and St. Paul City Middle School.
A few comparisons stand out for parents. Capitol Hill and Benjamin E Mays IB share the address 560 Rondo Ave yet differ by roughly 15x in Math proficiency. ZIP-wide averages (Math 18.8%, Reading 28.3%, Science 13.0%) sit below the state, while the median school is far lower still (Math 5.7%, Reading 14.5%) — meaning the average is pulled up by two schools. Science is the weakest subject throughout. Class size offers no simple answer: the three smallest student-teacher ratios belong to three of the lowest performers, while the largest ratio (21.6 at Capitol Hill) belongs to the top performer. St. Paul City High is the one clear bright spot among the lower-performing group, gaining 8.8 points in Reading and improving from the 2nd to the 14th rank percentile, though its 61.2% graduation rate trails the state's 84.9% and its dropout rate of 12.9% is roughly triple the state's 4.2%.
