Saint Agnes School is a private, Roman Catholic K-12 school in the Frogtown neighborhood of Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States.[1] It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, and is affiliated with the Church of St. Agnes in Saint Paul.

Background

Saint Agnes School was established in 1888, and as of right now (2023-2024 school year) educates students from pre-kindergarten until 12th grade. Circa 2002 its student count was 600. In 2007 its student count was 425. That year the diocese notified the school that it may be not be viable due to declining enrollment and its debt of over $1,000,000. Two unidentified individuals gave $2,600,000 to help the school pay its debts off. By 2012 its enrollment was at 553, with 26% of them being of ethnic backgrounds other than non-Hispanic white.[1]
