Alton sits on a limestone bluff above the Mississippi River, about 25 miles north of St. Louis, carrying the kind of layered history that most cities its size can only claim in small pieces. The city was the site of the final Lincoln-Douglas debate in October 1858 and served as a significant stop on the Underground Railroad, and that history is still visible in the architecture, streets, and preserved landmarks throughout the downtown core. Lewis and Clark College anchors the educational presence in the area, while healthcare, retail, and river commerce form the backbone of the local economy. Neighborhoods range from hillside streets lined with 19th-century homes to quieter residential pockets closer to the river's edge.
The housing mix reflects the city's older bones, with converted historic buildings, standalone apartment communities, and modest multi-unit rentals spread across its 16 square miles.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
