High Schools in South St. Paul Public School District

The South St. Paul Public School District operates three high schools, serving students in grades 9-12. These schools provide educational opportunities in a diverse community, with varying levels of academic performance and student outcomes.

The largest high school, South St. Paul High School, has a diverse student population and a higher-than-average 4-year graduation rate of 89.8%. However, its academic performance, as measured by MCA-III proficiency rates, is below the state average in math, reading, and science. In contrast, the smaller S St. Paul Community Learning Cntr., an alternative high school, struggles with a significantly lower 4-year graduation rate of just 36% and academic performance well below the district and state averages. The district's virtual high school, SSP Virtual, also has a lower-than-average 4-year graduation rate of 58.8%, though limited data is available for this school.

The high schools in the South St. Paul Public School District serve a diverse student population, with significant percentages of Hispanic and African American students. However, the academic performance of these schools suggests potential equity issues, as proficiency rates are generally below the state averages. The challenges faced by alternative and virtual schools in the district, such as lower graduation rates and academic performance, highlight the need for targeted support and interventions to ensure all students in the community have access to a high-quality education.
