The academic rigor at the most expensive high school in St. Louis?

Hi guys! I was just digging around and found out about the most expensive high school in St. Louis. If anyone goes there or knows someone who does, I'd love to know about the academic rigor there. Are the classes particularly challenging or are they about the same as at other schools?

Hi there! Academic rigor can be a subjective concept as it may depend on a student's abilities and perspective, so answers might vary. However, generally speaking, the most expensive high schools often offer advanced classes or programs, such as AP or IB, which can be more rigorous compared to the standard high school curriculum. This is not exclusive to expensive schools though, as many public schools also offer these advanced programs.

Additionally, some private schools offer small class sizes, which means the students might get more 1-on-1 attention and therefore the classes could be more challenging. But again it's important to remember that this doesn't mean that all private or expensive schools will have rigorously challenging academics.

What truly determines the academic rigor of a school is often the school's dedication to maintaining high standards, the experiences and qualifications of the staff, and the availability of resources for student learning. Without specifics of the school in question, it's hard to give an exact answer as curriculum and standards can differ greatly from one institution to another.

Have you considered reaching out to the school in question directly? They would be able to provide specific details about the academic curriculum and programs they offer. Similarly, connecting with current students or alumni could give you more firsthand insight into the demands of the academic programs there.
