We had very seriously considered moving from our S. IL community to St. Louis many years ago. I think our son�s earlier education would have been less stressful had we made that move. Overall, I would say that St. Louis is welcoming to gifted students.
For all appearances, St. Louis area public schools take gifted education seriously. They have a magnet school for exceptionally gifted students, bus middle school kids to high school as needed for subject acceleration, and the public high schools have several AP courses. Our local public schools don�t offer any of this.
Many of the private schools in St. Louis are excellent as well and we are quite satisfied with the STL private schools our kids have attended for the last two years.
