Saint Paul Online High School

Summary:

Saint Paul Online High School is a public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in the Saint Paul Public Schools district, with an enrollment of 252 students and a diverse student population.

While the school ranks 1st out of 90 Minnesota high schools for English Language Learner (ELL) students, it faces several challenges. Saint Paul Online High School has significantly lower proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments compared to the district and state averages, with only 3.85% of 11th-grade students proficient in Math. The school's four-year graduation rate is 68.3%, lower than the district average of 80.7%, and its dropout rate of 1.6% is higher than the district's 2.3%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (82.14%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Saint Paul Public Schools district, such as Open World Learning Secondary and Nova Classical Academy Upper School, both magnet schools, Saint Paul Online High School generally performs worse academically. The school's ranking for female students is also lower than for male students, suggesting potential gender-based achievement gaps, and the school's ranking for low-socioeconomic-status students is lower than the overall school ranking, indicating that the school may be struggling to support this population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

2022	323	12.6	25.4	67.5

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
