2 Best Public High School Teachers in Missouri
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!

Parent: Our son is currently in the 2nd grade. He has been at the school for two years, and it has been a wonderful experience. The enthusiasm of the teachers, who are truly experts in the subjects they teach, is infectious. They consistently set high standards for all students at every stage of their academic career. This is a school that prioritizes academics and the students themselves; it is targeted to students with intellectual curiosity and a strong work ethic. We are very happy here!

Senior: Marquette High School is a great school with many opportunities to grow and succeed. This school offers many resources whether it be from teachers, the writing center, or counselors. Marquette offers a variety of classes that interest all types of students. All of the courses I have taken have been enjoyable and I have taken many interesting electives like forensics and first aid responding to emergencies. Marquette also offers many extracurricular activities including multiple sports teams and volunteer based clubs. The facilities at Marquette are very new and updated. Overall Marquette and the Rockwood School District offer many academic and extracurricular opportunities and the schools are nice, clean, and staffed with wonderful staff.

5 Best Public High School Teachers in Missouri
Alum: Academics can be excellent, plenty of opportunities for any kid and any interest-
If your son is into sports- I’d give careful consideration. Football is mediocre, wrestling program is top notch, basketball for boys mediocre, volleyball for boys average- Baseball pathetic. The Varsity team rarely practices and the head coach is awful! All the talent in the World and he simply doesn’t care. They play about 2/3rds the games of most any other school or less. If Lafayette hired a head Coach that cared at all - I would give 5 stars. Really sad- if Baseball is important to your son, evaluate your options.

Junior: I have had a very good time at Parkway Central High. Most teachers and staff are extremely helpful and will answer any questions students may have. My favorite thing would probably have to be how well they prepare you for college at Parkway Central. They have a myriad of AP courses available for the average student to take and they’re all very accessible and easy to get into. The classes are very challenging and have been preparing me extremely well for college. I can’t wait to see how my experiences here might resonate with the ones I have at college!

Senior: My experience at LSHS was average. My first two years were the best and now as a senior I am ready to graduate and leave! It was a great experience from the teachers to sports to academics. My favorite teachers at LSHS are Mrs.Thomas, Mr.Hoffman, and Mr.Fleck! I think I will still remember them when I leave because they made an impact and my school year wonderful. I did have bad experiences but good ones as well. I did play sports for my first two years which were basketball and track which I enjoyed. Overall I was glad to attend this school and feel that it helped me prepare for college and I think i'm going to do great!

Alum: I am an alumni of Rockwood Summit High School. Rockwood Summit offered one of the top educations in Missouri. They are somewhat diverse, but can use some more minorities. They also can use a program to help minorities seek out HBCUs. This would have been helpful when I went there. The food was pretty good. The atmosphere was great. The community was allowed to use the track there which I thought was awesome! I hope that they still do senior slam. It was one of my best experiences, next to Prom and of course graduation. Overall, I would recommend parents, especially minorities, send there kids to Rockwood Summit High School.

10 Best Public High School Teachers in Missouri
Senior: I enjoy the family environment of the school. If someone is struggling, any staff member is willing to sit down and work with them to find out the best solution. The academics are rigorous, without being too much for a high school student. Student's are able to hold jobs while taking AP classes if they can manage their time effectively. Sports are a large part of the Eureka High School community. School spirit is huge and the student section, lovingly named the Catpound, does not disappoint. You will never see the Catpound half full. It is always packed with students supporting their football, basketball, wrestling and many more teams. My overall experience at Eureka was absolutely amazing and I would go back there in a heartbeat.

Senior: I have had an excellent experience at Lee's Summit North High School. The majority of my teachers have gone above and beyond in assisting me not only academically, but also with any personal problems I may have. North excels in forming a sense of community in all students and staff. There are clubs and activities for everyone, and students are consistently encouraged to get involved and find their niche. The campaign, "You Be You", was introduced into my school last year. The purpose of the campaign is to strengthen the acceptance of all students and allow for more confident students. Almost every teacher consistently checks in on students to make sure they are succeeding academically and mentally.

12 Best Public High School Teachers in Missouri
Senior: I’ve really liked spending the last 4 years at LSW! I think the teachers are great, and the building is really nice. I also like the counseling center resources like college prep help and graduation requirement meetings, but I wish I would’ve known about them sooner. There is tons of school spirit, which makes for a fun environment. The student body numbers are getting too high, so the hallways are crowded, and there are classes in mobiles which are inconvenient. There is also a lot of favoritism as far as which sports and/or people get recognition for achievements. Overall, West is a great school, and I feel prepared for college after going there.

Senior: University Academy values every student. They want to make sure that the students succeed in their academics and become great leaders of society. The school prepares their students for success beyond high school. The quality of education given to the students is great. It aligns with college curriculum. This level of education requires a strong work ethic, a skill that stays with the student and adds to their character. I like that my school provides students with great opportunities to not only be leaders but to also be explorers. Students are able to study abroad their Sophomore or Junior year of high school. For this, I am very thankful. I would like to see a change in our class sizes since their so small.

High School Senior: Forsyth High School is very accommodating to their students. For instance earlier in the year there was some complications with some of the core classes that seniors needed to take to be able to get into a 4 year college. With the English class that most of the seniors were taking it wouldn't have been accepted to any 4 year college. So with the counselor noticing this she talk to the students and the administration and was able to change the class into something that was accepted into any colleges. This shows how dedicated all of the administration cares about the students here.

Senior: I've had an absolutely wonderful time at Park Hill South. The amount of opportunities provided by the school has greatly fit my passions and interests. Whether it's the AP classes provided, the intern opportunities through NCAPS, or the plethora of activities and athletics available, PHS has given me a desirable education. AP Music Theory, AP World History, Student Council, A Capella and Stage Craft were some of my favorites! Along with that, the Theatre Department is top notch, and has given me a second home. The teachers and administration really care about the students, and I have become very close with many of them. I'm genuinely going to miss Park Hill South, and hope it continues to develop and improve.

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!

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!

Senior: I love the schools willingness to change to fit the needs of students. If you want do be in 5 clubs and 2 sports teams you can! It’s actually encouraged! The coaches and sponsors work together so can try everything you like. I also couldn’t name one teacher that I didn’t think cared about me and my success. The size is perfect for letting teachers make that connection with everyone. The staff are constantly working for the students to make HS better. That’s what makes Osage such a great school. I highly recommend it!

21 Best Public High School Teachers in Missouri
Senior: I have found that the academic aspect of Lincoln is very good; however, all of the main issues are due to the schools budget. My senior class is full of extremely hardworking students, all of whom have barely gotten any field trips at their time at Lincoln or and senior “perks.” The majority of teachers work very hard to give us an excellent education, especially during senior year. Lincoln gets extremely high test scores, which have ranked us #1 out of public schools in the state of Missouri. It’s clear that we have a good education, all that is missing is funding. We need more money for the building itself, clubs, sports teams, field trips, etc. I’ve had a very good experience at Lincoln when it comes to making friends and having a great education. I would recommend Lincoln to anyone looking for a large diversity of students, hardworking teachers, an excellent education, and a high chance of getting into the college of your choice.

The food is terrible though. Making pizza whole grain doesn't make it healthy, it makes it gross.

Alum: I graduated from Emil E. Holt Sr. High School in 2016. I enjoyed my time at Holt very much! Many of the teachers were very kind and easy to talk to. There were several opportunities to get involved at Holt; whether it was being apart of a club, a sport, STUCO, DECA, theatre arts, or an office/teacher/library aide. I was most involved with school my senior year, when I became a library aide. I met so many people and was given assignments to keep the library clean and appealing to the students and staff who came in. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Parent: Norfolk Academy provided an extraordinary educational journey for my two children, fueling their curiosity and inspiring them to explore new avenues that they might not have discovered without the incredible teachers and coaches at this school. My oldest child, who came in sixth grade, now studies engineering at an Ivy League university; he particularly loved the robotics team, as well as soccer, swimming, and crew teams. My youngest child, who is a senior at NA, came in first grade, and she has developed a passion for medicine and health, largely through the school's Global Health Fellows program and the Medical Scholars program.

Parent: We can't recommend Priory enough. Though early into his tenure, we'd like to share our thoughts with you as our son is currently a new 7th grader. We were interested in a school that would challenge and bring out the best in our son (he previously attended a challenging Catholic school). The curriculum is rigorous, and our son greatly enjoys all of his classes and teachers. It has been a bit bumpy here and there with grades, but this was expected. Teachers are all available when extra help is needed, but your son must reach out to them and make the time. Is there a fair amount of homework? Yes, but it seems to be pretty evenly balanced across the subjects. Our son is very active in sports, so we've been careful to balance his activities, letting him get accustomed to the new setting and priorities.
