Great TINY school choice in the St. Louis suburbs, where the high schools are huge. Kids don't get away with anything... They are on top of it. Having said that, there are some limitations. No football program and the concert band is small. (No marching.) Also, these kids might have a bit of a shock when they get to college and the teachers aren't hounding them about missing homework or late papers! My son put it this way, "Valley Park is so small we're like family. And you can't be mad at family too long, because you see them every day. We just all get along."

Love this school district so much. The care each kid receives is top of the line. Small class sizes, teachers who have been there for a long time, and students that care are what makes this a great school. It’s a public school with a private feel.

I graduated from Valley Park High School in the eighties and decided to move from North County (Ferguson/Florissant school district) to Valley Park because this was the only school district I trusted with my son’s education. I have no regrets! All schools on one campus with small classroom teacher/student ratio, everyone knew everyone on campus. My son started at Valley Park in the 6 grade with teachers who cared about his education and students who were academically focused. He graduated this past May with lifelong friends and now attends college.
