This public school system offers superior education to all but the most elite private schools such that any kid lucky enough to live in the district has an excellent opportunity to learn, achieve and matriculate at an elite university despite not having all the benefits of upbringing or affluence. Public education is the great equalizer in society and very few district in the USA do it better than Ladue. Compared to where and when I went to public school, the instruction my kids receive is like that which was offered to the richest kids who attended the best private country day school. In terms of value, nothing beats the Ladue School District. In areas where public school systems are plagued with poor performance, this kind of education would cost you 30K or more per year per student at a very competitive private school. If you have multiple kids, that delta can add up to 7 figures and so dollar for dollar, living in the Ladue District is the best value bar none.
In debate competitions Ladue is usually the state champion. The community has long supported its school system so that almost everyone here loves it. Our property taxes are higher, but with a 1:12 teacher:pupil ratio it is worth the cost for this school district. Rural feeling community in the heart of the city is a big plus. Just be ready for the high cost of a home because demand outstrips supply. You cannot go wrong sending your kids to this district. Competing school districts nearby are Kirkwood and Clayton. I am biased, but Ladue simply out performs them year after year in creating well rounded kids ready for the future.
Ladue is an exceptional school district. I came in 6th grade and all the kids were very friendly and the teachers were very helpful as I was I new student. The High School is incredibly modern having just redid the whole building a few years ago. The Teachers are incredible, especially the History and Art departments. Ladue has the same problems as most high schools. I think we start too early in the morning and not all classes are worth taking to prepare for the future. Ladue though has a place for everyone to meet and talk with great people and to succeed.
