Like Bryan said in St. Louis people just send their kids to private schools where you go to high school is the biggest question in St. Louis because of this it’s like asking someone where they are from people go to these private schools (often small catholic grade schools that aren’t doing much better then too big catholic high schools)because the public schools aren’t great and underfunded especially in the city and some places in the county for example the gap between university city high school and Clayton high and ladue high which are only about a mile or 2 away Clayton and ladue are the some of the top public high schools in the state and ucity is ranked not to much lower but due to funding and other stuff it seems they are in 2 completely different worlds
This was kinda sad but excellent at the same time.
