Every year, St. Louis Magazine publishes a comprehensive guide to the region’s schools, from kindergarten through college—the only place you can find information on public and private schools in one convenient package. In creating these charts, we strove to be as inclusive as possible, inviting more than 200 schools in St. Louis city; Jefferson, St. Charles, and St. Louis counties; and Madison, St. Clair, and Monroe counties in Illinois to respond to an informational survey. In some cases, data came from public school districts rather than individual schools. All information is self-reported. These charts should just be considered starting points. If your school is in the St. Louis region and was not included in the charts, please email szak@stlmag.com.
Note: In the charts, by marking “NA,” the school is stating that the category is “not applicable”; “DND” means “does not disclose”; “int’l” is an abbreviation for “international.”
ST. LOUIS PRIVATE GRADE SCHOOLS
1. Because of space constraints, SLM was unable to include the many public grade schools, as well as parish elementary schools in the Archdiocese of St. Louis or the Metro East. 2. This chart includes private schools that had at least 45 students enrolled in preschool–grade 8. 3. Some schools also have high schools, but for the purposes of this chart we asked that administrators only include information that pertains up to grade 8. 4. Some schools list only grades 6–8. In most cases, these are schools that incorporate middle school grades into their high schools. We included their middle school students on this chart and their high-school students on the next chart. 5. *Only reflects grades 7 and 8.
