My School Is One Of The Top Schools In The State Other Than Metro High ....
—Submitted by a student


Posted May 19, 2011

This is a fantastic school. I give the students 5 stars. I am a substitute teacher. It was in math, for which I have a degree, so that helped. The students were very well-behaved, and respectful. It was one of my best substitute assignments. Thank you.

The school offers a fantastic core curriculum and advance courses, including pre-engineering courses.

Bierbaum Elementary in Mehlville are showing that they are making a difference in children's education by communicating with parents and following children's progresses closely and making sure the children are not left behind.

I love Carnahan for my child because it is a nurturing environment, they are taking the necessary steps to help prepare my child for college and they are always available for me when I have needs.

I love Carnahan High School of the Future! The teachers really care about the students, and the small school environment insures all the staff and faculty know each student and vice versa!

I attend Carnahan High School and its really becoming the school of the future. There's a excellent student to teacher ratio and the teachers are unlike no other. Usually in high school the teachers barely know you're name but not at Carnahn thats not a problem... There are so many opportunities at Carnahan and I would strongly refer any students to my school

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Missouri used the End-of-Course (EOC) Assessments to test high school students in Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, English I, English II, American History, Government, and Biology. The EOC Assessments are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Missouri for each subject. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
