Summary:
Zip code 99171 has two small public schools in Saint John, serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12 through the St. John School District. Both schools are located at the same address, with 85 students at St John Elementary and 60 students at St John/Endicott High. There is no separate middle school listed in the area, and the district serves a small, rural community with a combined enrollment of about 145 students.
St John Elementary is the stronger overall performer. In 2025–2026, 69.23% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 71.79% were proficient in math, exceeding both district and statewide results. The school also improved substantially from the prior year, gaining nearly 13 percentage points in ELA and more than 9 points in math. Its student-teacher ratio is a favorable 11.8:1, and its current ranking places it in the 71st percentile statewide. Parents should note that fourth-grade ELA was weaker at 46.15%, while several other grade-level results were suppressed because of small student counts.
St John/Endicott High has a mixed academic profile. Its 61.11% ELA proficiency rate was above the state average, and its 10.2:1 student-teacher ratio may support individualized attention. However, math is a major concern: only 25% of students were proficient, compared with 43.11% statewide and 58.18% districtwide. The high school’s ranking also declined to the 47th percentile, after ranking in the 61st and 65th percentiles in the previous two years. The most important improvement priority is high school math, while maintaining the school’s relative ELA strength. Because enrollment is very small, parents should view single-year percentages cautiously and consider multi-year results, course-level data, graduation information, and the number of students tested.
