The St. Louis obsession with the "Where did you go to high school" question often leaves city transplants bewildered?! The fact of the matter is, St. Louis County is incredibly unique in the way that district quality, reputation, stigma, and standards vary dramatically from zip code to zip code. I will go so far as to say that right behind centrality, property value is not only correlated with but directly based on school district in St. Louis county.
