There are a trio of great Catholic schools/churches in the Brookside neighborhood: Visitation, St. Peter's and St. Elizabeth's.

Whether these would be a good match for you depends and what kind of "burb people" you are. Brookside is a streetcar suburb in KC proper. If you want to live in the exurbs, these wouldn't be for you.

One thing that you may find beneficial of Brookside is that a large majority of the families send their kids to these schools (as opposed to public) and there is a large Catholic population in the area.

I am on the school board at Our Lady of Lourdes in Raytown. Great school! I went to school there and so did all 4 of my children. Now grandchildren are attending the school.
Also a very friendly parish,very easy to become involved in different activities. The school has convenient access to Interstate 435 and 350 highway. The nearest Catholic High School is just a couple miles south of our parish.
