Summary:
Zip code 97137 covers the Saint Paul, Oregon area and contains two public schools, both in St Paul School District 45: St Paul Elementary School (grades PK–6, 150 students) and St Paul High School (grades 7–12, 146 students), together enrolling about 296 students. There is no separate middle school, since grades 7 and 8 are part of the high school. The district is rated 32nd of 141 in Oregon, in the 77th percentile, with 4 stars.
St Paul Elementary School is the steadier of the two, holding 4 stars for three straight years. Its chronic absenteeism rate is 10.7%, far below the district's 20.6% and Oregon's 33.5%. It scores above the state in ELA (52.9% vs. 43.8%), math (47.9% vs. 32.9%), and science (35.3% vs. 30.6%), with math roughly 15 percentage points above the state. Within the school, the upper grades are stronger — 5th-grade ELA is 75.0% and 5th-grade math 64.7% — while 3rd and 4th grade are lower.
St Paul High School is more mixed. Its graduation rate is 100.0% versus 83.0% statewide, and grades 7 and 8 beat the state in ELA (64.3% and 61.9%) and math (42.9% and 42.9%). But its rank fell from 4 stars in 2023–24 to 2 stars in the last two years, science is 20.0% overall and just 14.3% in 11th grade, and 11th-grade ELA and math trail the state. Absenteeism is 28.9% — better than the state but 8.3 points above the district average. With about 150 students per school, single-grade results come from small groups. Also note the free/reduced lunch figures are unreliable here, with an elementary value above 100% and a blank high school value.
