High Schools in St. Louis City

Summary:

The St. Louis City school district contains 13 high schools serving students in grades 9-12. This urban district faces significant challenges, with most schools struggling with low academic performance and high poverty rates among the student population.

Two schools stand out as academic powerhouses within the district: Metro High and Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience. These schools are ranked 1st and 8th, respectively, out of 352 Missouri high schools, and both have exceptional test scores that far exceed the district and state averages. Notably, these two high-performing schools also have the most racially diverse student populations in the district, suggesting a correlation between diversity and academic excellence.

In contrast, many other schools in the St. Louis City district struggle with persistently low performance, with schools like Vashon High, Miller Career Academy, and Sumner High consistently ranking near the bottom of Missouri high schools. These disparities in academic achievement are likely driven by a combination of factors, including unequal resource allocation, high poverty rates, and other systemic challenges facing the district.
