^Each of them tests remarkably well (see Greatschools.org for more specifics),so I wouldn't worry too much about which attendance boundary you end up within. Schools in the Webster and Brentwood districts test equally as well and would certainly be worth considering.

Feel free to ask any follow-up questions!

^Agree completely. Outside of Clayton and Ladue schools, those three districts are the best in the inner suburbs.

For education bang for the housing buck, they're probably the best among the older suburbs.

All five Kirkwood elementary schools are high quality, but if I were moving there I would pick between Tillman first, North Glendale second and Keysor third, more for their location and housing stock than for the quality of the schools. And if you are thinking about walking everywhere, that is also how I would rank them to get you closer to the "Heart of Kirkwood".

We've been pleased with Tillman for our kids, but I've not heard a bad thing about any of the others honestly. People seem to reallly love Keysor and North Glendale.

As a Kirkwood grad myself, I used to worry more about middle schools because historically North was considered the better school, but I have two kids in Nipher and have been very pleased.

I really don't think you can go wrong. I'd pick more on house and other factors.
