Re: Best / Worst City to Raise Your Kids
[ QUOTE ]
All in all, I think St. Louis is a good place to raise kids.

I grew up west of St. Louis, in the Rockwood School District, and have to say that my education was outstanding. I have no idea where it ranks nationally, but it has to be up there, because looking back I can see that my teachers were generally of very good quality, and there was a shitload of money spent per kid. Absolutely no need to send kids to a private school out there.
I'm a bit worried about the public school system in Nashville. I've heard it isn't that great, and there are so many private schools around that its probably true. But I can't imagine paying college-level tuitions for elementary through high school. What a back breaker.
