THE FINE PRINT
By marking “NA,” the school is stating that the category is not applicable; “DND” means “did not disclose”; “int’l” is an abbreviation for “international.” Grade Schools 1. Because of space constraints, SLM was unable to include the many public grade schools or parish elementary schools in the Archdiocese of St. Louis or the Metro East. For more information about area schools, visit archstl.org/education and stlcityschools.org. 2. Some schools also have high schools, but for the purposes of this chart we asked that administrators only include information that pertains up to grade 8. 3. Some schools list only grades 6–8. In most cases, these are schools that incorporate middle school grades into their high schools. We included their middle school students on this chart and their high school students on the next chart. 4. *After opening, Classical Academy de Lafayette plans to add a grade each year through grade 12.
