Current Resident: Born and raised here. Rockwood is a pretty great school system and I was college ready by the time I was done. I generally always feel safe in my neighborhood. However, moving out I have found to be difficult as prices for rent and for homes in Wildwood and surrounding similar areas is pretty expensive. If you can secure a place to live and a decent paying job, it's pretty nice!... Read 91 reviews

Current Resident: Glendale is a small, family-friendly community that is a part of Webster and (majority) Kirkwood schools. Many of the small older homes are getting knocked down to build huge $700k+ four bedroom, three bath homes on these small lots. The community is great, especially if you have kids, but everyone who lives on my street looks the same as me, yet the schools try to push diversity by bussing in kids from the city, while in the long run Kirkwood really should be pushing and helping black and brown families move to the area....

Current Resident: Ladue is a beautiful place to live. It seems like a forest in the middle of St. Louis. I often have deer and owls lounging in my backyard— even though I’m 5 minutes from Clayton and 15 minutes from downtown. Ladue High School is (in my biased opinion) the best public school in St. Louis. The area is safe, quiet at night, and surrounded by many things to do (such as Forest Park, downtown Saint Louis, midtown, WASHU campus, downtown Clayton, and much more) I moved to Ladue from another suburb in Saint Louis, and I could not be more happy with where I live!...

The neighboring schools are an amazing place to get a quality education. You're close enough to the city of St. Louis but in a quiet enough area.

Current Resident: Ballwin has been the town where my childhood has taken place. I wasn’t always here between my mom living in Wentzville, Potosi, and Chesterfield, but my dad has always been here. Along with years of childhood memories and great places to visit, Ballwin is always a place that has made me feel safe. All my friends, neighbors, classmates and teachers always are supportive and care about each other and it is an amazing thing to experience.

Prior to the pandemic we would have block parties and area food trucks would be in the neighborhood almost monthly. Many have returned multiple times.

The walking trails, well kept homes, and overall sense of community are what appealed to us. The location to the high way was ideal, but did not feel like we were on top of the high way.

Parent: Rossman strikes a great balance between providing kids with a challenging academic program while at the same time creating an environment where kids are excited to go to school and learn. The teachers want to see your children succeed but just as importantly they want to establish a desire for learning that stays with them into high school and college. This starts in the JK classroom where kids learn about Van Gogh & Matisse by creating their own versions of famous masterpieces while at the same time getting an opportunity to establish friendships that last long beyond Rossman. On top of the impressive academics, the focus on building character is evident throughout the school day and kids in all grades subscribe to Rossman's core character values. When considering schools for our family we wanted a school where our children felt supported, happy and challenged every day and where as parents we felt part of a community. We feel very lucky to have found all of that at Rossman School!... Read 22 reviews

Alum: As a former student of Rise Hybrid Private Academy, I highly recommend to anyone debating to enroll! Not only did this Academy enable me to excel both in and out of the classroom, but the students/teacher became family. Students receive an unparalleled education while still having fun! I will forever cherish my memories of AP Biology dissection labs, the field trip to Washington DC, even one on one math (which wasn’t my strong suit🤣yet it is still a major memory, proving the impact of this school and teacher!), Secret Santa during the holidays, and many more. Through this Academy, I established a foundation in advanced education as well as life skills such as communication, time management/efficiency, and work ethic.
