Summary:
ZIP code 55108 in Saint Paul, Minnesota contains 17 schools serving roughly 10,860 students across elementary, middle, high school, and alternative settings, run by operators that include Saint Paul Public Schools, Hmong College Prep Academy, and Higher Ground Academy. Enrollment is concentrated: the five largest schools hold about 65% of all students, and Minnesota Connections Academy 7-12 alone enrolls 3,536 — roughly one-third of the area total.
Academic results split sharply. St. Anthony Park Elementary is the strongest performer, ranking 119 of 869 elementary schools (86th percentile, 4 stars), with math at 68.7%, reading at 65.6%, and science at 36.4%, all well above state averages of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Chelsea Heights Elementary (71st percentile, 4 stars) also beats the state in every subject. Among older students, Great River School ranks 75 of 473 high schools (84th percentile, 4 stars) with 62.2% reading, a 92.3% graduation rate, and a 0.0% dropout rate. Only four schools — these three plus Great River Elementary School — exceed the state reading average, and only two beat the state in math.
Most larger schools here score well below state; area averages are 25.8% in math, 36.4% in reading, and 17.4% in science. Minnesota Connections Academy 7-12, the largest school, posts 8.0% math, a 41.1 student/teacher ratio, and a 6.6% dropout rate. Graduation and test scores tell different stories elsewhere: Hmong College Prep Academy High School (92.2%) and HGA Secondary (91.5%) graduate students above the state's 84.9% rate despite below-state proficiency. Data for Metro Deaf School, NCS Online Program, and Anna Westin House is largely suppressed by the state, so those schools cannot be fairly ranked.
