Parent: 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.... Read 20 reviews

Senior: The Parkway School District provides opportunities for a decent education to a wide variety of students, whether they be from the suburbs or the city. While the staff may be composed of various teachers qualified to teach AP material, the AP courses themselves are not greatly filled with students. The teachers are very friendly, however, and enjoy advertising the courses available for students to take in future years. Even though the actual education provides great opportunity and rigor, nearly every year I have spent at Parkway there has been a racist incident that has occurred, and it has always targeted the African American community. Though I myself am not African American, I have various friends who have been affected by it, and I've seen their hurt. The values of the students may not be the greatest, but overall, the school can provide a decent educational environment.... Read 101 reviews

Niche User: The community gets SO much for their tax dollars in this district. They have top-notch teachers, despite several pay freezes over the years. Lots of administrators “wear multiple hats” and do phenomenal work without the support staff found in similarly-sized districts in the area. Great opportunities for students and very professional, caring adults amid a community that gets more than they pay for and more than they have supported. It’s astounding that so many great educators hang on, despite the challenges that some in the community throw in their way.... Read 135 reviews

Senior: High School isn't easy for anybody. At Pattonville, I was able to experience college level classes that prepared me for anywhere life was going to take me. Not only does Pattonville offer a wide range of classes to suit student's interests, but they also allow students to create clubs and after school activities revolving around any topic they choose. To summarize my experience in the Pattonville School District, I would safely say that I am going to go into college with experience in the field of study I want to pursue.... Read 32 reviews
