Summary

St Paul High School is a small rural school at 20449 Main St NE in Saint Paul, Oregon, serving 146 students in grades 7–12 — roughly 24 students per grade — and it is the only comprehensive 7–12 campus among its neighbors. It belongs to St Paul School District 45, which ranks 32nd of 141 Oregon districts.

Completion and attendance are the school's clearest strengths. Graduation was 100% in each of the last four reported years (2021‑22 through 2024‑25), and 95.8% in 2020‑21 — the highest of any school in its comparison group, well ahead of Sherwood High School (96.7%), Newberg Senior High School (92.6%), Dayton High School (91.4%) and McMinnville High School (88.1%). Chronic absenteeism is 28.9%, below the state's 33.5% and lower than every comprehensive neighbor, though up from 21.3% the prior year. St Paul spends $22,235 per student with a 12.6:1 student‑teacher ratio — the smallest classes of any comprehensive school in the group, roughly half those of the large suburban high schools.

The puzzle is academics. St Paul currently ranks 186th of 271 Oregon high schools (31st percentile, 2 stars), after a decade in the 86th–97th percentile. Its all‑grades scores look strong (ELA 56.3, math 37.5), but because the school serves grades 7–12, those figures blend its middle grades with its high school grades; against 9–12 neighbors it is not a like‑for‑like comparison. Looking at 11th grade alone: ELA 38.5 is below the state's 46.0, math 23.1 is essentially at the state's 22.9, and science 14.3 falls far below the state's 33.8. Science is below state at every grade tested. Meanwhile, 7th and 8th grade ELA and math run well above state — so students arrive prepared, and the challenge is carrying that proficiency into 11th grade. With about 24 students per grade, a single student can shift a grade‑level percentage by roughly 4 points, so small cohorts deserve caution in both directions.
