Pattonville consists of 27 square miles (70 km2) and it encompasses parts of the municipalities of Bridgeton, Maryland Heights, St. Ann, and a small portion of Creve Coeur. Other portions are in unincorporated St. Louis County (between Creve Coeur and Overland). The district is located near St. Louis Lambert International Airport. The district has won several awards related to the academic success of its students.
The district contains five elementary schools, one K-8 school, two middle schools, and one high school. Current enrollment exceeds 5,000 students. Pattonville boasts a progressive program called Positive School, which is an alternative high school that is largely separated from the rest of the school. Positive School's purpose is to ensure that students who would otherwise drop out finish their high school education. The high school was named to U.S. News & World Report's Best High Schools lists in 2013, 2015, 2019 and 2020.[3] Pattonville spends over $14,000 per student and is ranked the most diverse school district in Missouri by Niche.[4]
