ST. LOUIS — This year, St. Louis-area private high schools took six of the top 10 spots among 84 statewide in a new ranking of the best private high schools in Missouri, according to Niche, a Pittsburgh-based provider of information on neighborhoods, colleges and K-12 schools.
Last year, local schools took seven of the top 10 spots in Missouri, and nine were among the top 10 in 2017. Forty-one private high schools in St. Louis appear in the ranking, up from 38 in 2018. Niche's list does include additional Missouri and St. Louis high schools, going up to 200, but anything on the list past No. 84 is not ranked.
Several of the top 10 schools also rank nationally, including John Burroughs and Thomas Jefferson School.
