Ladue Horton Watkins High School

• Ladue School District, MO
• 9-12
• 207 reviews

Senior: Located at 1201 South Warson Road, Ladue Horton Watkins High School builds itself upon character and accomplishments. Rated the second best high school in Missouri and 363 in the nation, Ladue School District is known for excelling in academics as well as athletics. Not only is Ladue Horton Watkins High School known for this, they are also known for creating a welcoming atmosphere for all students. The most important lesson I learned was how to display my gifts and talents for all to see with confidence. At Ladue, each student understands diversity and celebrates each person on their ability to stand out from the crowd. After lacking in confidence for so many years, my transfer to Ladue Horton Watkins High School my freshman year was truly a blessing in disguise. Without the help of Ladue's amazing faculty and students I would not have found true happiness or become the person I am today!

Kirkwood Senior High School

• Kirkwood School District, MO
• 9-12
• 253 reviews

Alum: The campus of KHS is absolutely phenomenal. Especially the quality of atheltic fields, gyms, and architecture design being fitting for all students. The teachers and faculty are very considerate of the success for each individual student when I attended until graduation of 2016. Kirkwood implements an outstanding amount of technology and supplies students with iPads (now laptops) being distributed for academics. They really impacted me with school spirit and supplied many different options for courses that fit a vast amount of interests. I am proud to say I attended 4 years at this high school and can call myself a Pioneer!

Webster Groves High School

• Webster Groves School District, MO

• 197 reviews

Alum: I've noticed that WGHS is #26 for STEM schools in my area (63119), at first I was dissapointed, but after some thought, am relieved....this is for STEM...
not STEAM!
Webster Groves is a quaint neighborhood with friendly, peaceful, intelligent, (for the most part) colorful, and cultural savy individuals. You can not raise and nurture these type of individuals and this wonderful environment without the ARTS. So Kudos to WGHS for accomplishing both!

Brentwood High School

• Brentwood School District, MO
• 9-12
• 44 reviews

Senior: I love the small high school experience. There is a no cut policy for sports so everyone gets to play. Plus, you get super involved because everyone has to participate in school activities for them to succeed! The teachers and administrators are really helpful and supportive. We have kids come in from other areas so even though we are a small community, we have a lot of diversity which I love. With the dual credit courses offered, I feel like I am ready for college next year. It would be nice to have newer facilities (no basement classrooms ;) but the hometown atmosphere more than makes up for that. I transferred in as a sophomore when my dad's job moved us to MO and Brentwood was the perfect school for me.

University City Senior High School

• University City School District, MO
• 9-12
• 89 reviews

Senior: Unlike a lot of other schools in America, University City High School is a progressive educational facility. There, you can see many different ethnicities, religions, and races interacting together. Even though UCity is a smaller scaled relatively poor school, all their movements to promote a healthy education in a country where differences are almost tabooed have proved to be effective. Does a ranking really matter when a school is unable to hint students about what society really is like? It is not about how many AP classes you can take, but how many people you can impact. That is why I love UCity.
