Best Public Schools in Saint Paul, KS

Summary:

The city of Saint Paul, Kansas is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: St. Paul Elementary School, St. Paul High School, and St. Paul Middle School. These schools are part of the Chetopa-St. Paul district, which faces significant economic challenges as evidenced by the high free and reduced-price lunch rates across all three schools.

Among the standout schools in the district, St. Paul Middle School shines, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Kansas middle schools over the past three years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's impressive test scores, particularly in 6th grade Mathematics, contribute to its strong performance. In contrast, St. Paul Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, suggesting inconsistencies in its academic performance that warrant further investigation.

At the high school level, St. Paul High School stands out for its strong Mathematics performance, with 41.66% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the district and state averages. This academic strength has contributed to the school's high rankings, including a 4-star rating in the current year and a 5-star rating in the previous year, placing it in the top 4% of Kansas high schools.
