Ladue Schools Earn a Near 99 Percent From State

Ladue schools stand out at the top of St. Louis-area school districts.

The district was rated a 98.9 percent in a new statewide system recently release  by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. 

Many St. Louis districts, which for years have touted a perfect 14 on the old system, are seeing greater distinction among schools’ scores.

The new Annual Performance Report (APR) consists of 140 points spread over five main categories: academic achievement (56 points), subgroup achievement (14 points), college and career readiness (30 points), attendance (10 points), and graduation rate (30 points). 

A 100 is the perfect score, and only a handful of schools statewide currently achieve it. Only one St. Louis district reached that mark in the results released on Friday. That district is Brentwood.

Other area districts that rated closely: Lindbergh, 99.3; Kirkwood, 98.2; Clayton, 98.9; Parkway 99.6; Rockwood 92.9.
