SCHOOLS STATS Here is 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.
