ST. LOUIS – On Tuesday, the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) named its eight Missouri Gold Star Schools for 2024. Four of the schools are in the St. Louis area.
“These schools demonstrate that academic excellence is possible while striving to meet the needs of every student in their school — and we’re so proud of their hard work,” Missouri Commissioner of Education Margie Vandeven said.
