As the name implies, Downtown West Saint Louis is west of the downtown district, a few miles from the Mississippi River. This vibrant urban neighborhood is about three miles from the renowned Gateway Arch monument and houses some of the city’s biggest attractions and landmarks. Neighboring office buildings, a diverse selection of restaurants, and vast museums, Downtown West is also home to the Saint Louis Wheel, the Enterprise Center, and the Stifel Theatre. Urban parks and plazas add a breath of fresh air in this urban hub. Green spaces such as Aloe Plaza, Memorial Plaza, and Kaufman Park host community events like Taste of Saint Louis. Of course, being next to Downtown Saint Louis means residents only have to walk a few blocks to experience more thrilling nightlife sports, eateries, and attractions. And if that’s not enough, Downtown West offers quick access to Grand Center, the city’s arts district filled with galleries, museums, theaters and more.

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.
