A Great Public Education

Newsweek’s ranking of the best public high schools in the country has several familiar names: Metro High School in the St. Louis Public School District ranks 118, the highest ranking of a Missouri public school. The only other local schools to make the list in the top 500 are Ladue’s Horton Watkins (206), Clayton High School (497).

Parents of children looking for a great public education should keep the rankings — and the City — in mind.
