<p>If you are trying to decide where to buy your next home, one of the questions you are probably asking is <em>how good are the public schools</em>. While there are plenty of websites which rank schools, determining which is the best St. Louis school isn&#8217;t as simple as going to a school ranking website.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t you wonder <strong><em>how these websites decide what are the best schools</em></strong>?</p>
<p><em>And do you agree that these are the most important factors in picking a school? </em></p>
<p>Many school ranking sites will look at college attendance rates and ACT scores. But what about class size? Percentage of kids expelled for disciplinary actions? Teacher years of experience?</p>
<p>Most of these factors are simply not included in the ranking formula used by national school ranking websites.</p>
<p><strong>Rather than just looking for the best school, you need to look for the best school <em>for your family</em>.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Search St. Louis homes for sale" href="http://www.archcityhomes.com/home-search/" rel="attachment wp-att-10389"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-10389 colorbox-10288" alt="Craigslist Search MLS ad graphic What are the Best Public Schools in St. Louis?" src="http://www.archcityhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Craigslist-Search-MLS-ad-graphic.png" width="358" height="130" title="What are the Best Public Schools in St. Louis?" /></a></p>
<p>Maybe you have children who plan to attend competitive colleges and need to be in a school that offers extensive advanced placement courses. Maybe you have children who are likely to attend vocational programs after high school and you want a school that has a high placement rate of success. Maybe you want your child in a diverse school environment, or a school with a low percentage of low-income children.</p>
<p>For families on a tight budget, finding the best schools in areas they can afford to live is important. Looking at the number of children receiving free or reduced rate lunches can help families needing affordable homes compare schools that will have housing in their price range.</p>

<p>The Missouri Department of Education provides a <strong><a title="Find School Report Cards for every Missouri public school" href="http://mcds.dese.mo.gov/guidedinquiry/Pages/District-and-School-Information.aspx">school report card</a></strong> for each public school which includes extensive information about the children attending the school and how they are performing. It includes information on teachers experience and compensation, and how much money is spent on each child.</p>
<p><strong>School report cards include:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 13px;">Number of students</span></li>
<li>Racial demographics</li>
<li>Attendance rate</li>
<li>Number of children receiving free or reduced price school lunches</li>
<li>Graduation rate, including the number of kids that graduate in 4 years</li>
<li>Dropout rate</li>
<li>College and post-secondary education rates</li>

</ul>
<h3>In order to get you started, I have put together a summary of some key factors to give you a snapshot of each St. Louis public high school and how they are performing.</h3>
<p><em><strong>Are your kids elementary or middle school age? </strong></em></p>
<p>With so many elementary and middle schools, the best way to pick a district is to look at the high school results since every child eventually moves on to high school. If the school does a good job with the younger kids, it will reflect well in the high school stats. Once you identify the districts you are interested in, you can then learn more about the <a title="Find the report card for any Missouri public school" href="http://mcds.dese.mo.gov/guidedinquiry/School%20Report%20Card/School%20Report%20Card.aspx">elementary or middle schools by looking up their report cards</a>.</p>
<h2>Comparison Charts for St. Louis Public High Schools:</h2>
<p>If you are trying to find the best schools in the St. Louis area for your family and are new to the area, or maybe you just don&#8217;t know how the local schools perform, then start with the summary sheets below to identify which schools you want to investigate further.</p>
<p>Long-time residents who are familiar with the local school districts should also take a look at the summary sheets.  Often our perceptions of a school district doesn&#8217;t match the current reality, and you might be overlooking a school that opens up your options for where you can live.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The National Association of Realtors surveyed 1st time home buyers to find out about their buying habits, and Doorsteps.com turned it into an infographic that helps spell out what is important to the 1st time home buyer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Doorsteps blog" href="http://blog.doorsteps.com/image/48880628982" rel="attachment wp-att-10334"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-10334 colorbox-10333" alt="First time homebuyer infographic 1024x626 What is Most Important to Home Buyers?" src="http://www.archcityhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/First-time-homebuyer-infographic-1024x626.png" width="522" height="319" title="What is Most Important to Home Buyers?" /></a></p>
<p>With 39% of people purchasing homes first time buyers, sellers need to understand what is important to these buyers.</p>
<p>When I am talking with a potential seller, they sometimes have a hard time understanding how buyers will compare their home to the competition. If sellers want to sell, they need to price their home properly&#8230;and that means understanding what is important to buyers and what buyers will compromise on.</p>
<h2>What is Most Important to 1st Time Buyers?</h2>
<p>There are two major areas that buyers evaluate when they are looking for a home. Location and the actual property.</p>
<p>Some things are more important to 1st time buyers than others.</p>
<h3><strong>Buyers willing to compromise&#8230;</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Neighborhood:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 13px;">Distance from job &#8211; 16%</span></li>
<li>Quality of neighborhood &#8211; 14%</li>
<li>Distance from family/friends &#8211; 7%</li>
<li>Quality of schools &#8211; 4%</li>
<li>Distance from school &#8211; 2%</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Home:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 13px;">Size of home &#8211; 20%</span></li>
<li>Price of home &#8211; 19%</li>
<li>Condition of home &#8211; 16%</li>
<li>Style of home &#8211; 14%</li>
<li>Lot size &#8211; 7%</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>What does this mean?</strong></h3>
<p>While buyers care about all of these things, if they have can&#8217;t afford to get everything, schools are more important than work commute and how nice the neighborhood is. Buyers will also compromise more on how big the house is and even the price in order to get the lot size and home style they want.</p>

<p>The St. Louis Post Dispatch recently published a map showing the murders in the St. Louis area since the beginning of 2013.</p>
<p>The map excludes police officer-involved shootings and justifiable homicides. Click on a marker for more details and links to the Post-Dispatch&#8217;s coverage of the incident.</p>
<p><iframe src="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&amp;msid=211771333062436406010.0004dc37eb3b3c53243d5&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;t=m&amp;source=embed&amp;ll=38.730519,-90.343323&amp;spn=0.455299,0.85144&amp;output=embed" height="350" width="425" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><br />
<small>View <a style="color: #0000ff; text-align: left;" href="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&amp;msid=211771333062436406010.0004dc37eb3b3c53243d5&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;t=m&amp;source=embed&amp;ll=38.730519,-90.343323&amp;spn=0.455299,0.85144">2013 ST. LOUIS-AREA MURDER MAP</a> in a larger map</small></p>
<p>Crime maps like this one really help home buyers and area residents understand if they will feel safe in a particular part of St. Louis.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m thrilled the Post Dispatch put this map together. It would be even better if they would add other violent crimes to the map such as rape, burglary and shootings. By using different colored pins on the map, it would be very easy to identify the type of violent crime and which parts of town residents want to avoid.</p>
<p>St. Louis gets a bad rap in national news on crime rate rankings due to the city &#8211; county split.</p>
<p>Most of the national crime rankings sites admit that they only use the data from St. Louis City since our area has 91 municipalities plus unincorporated areas in St. Louis County, plus the region includes several other Missouri counties or portions of southwestern Illinois. The result is that the national crime ranking sites look at just the urban core of the city for St. Louis, while the other cities it is compared to include the urban areas and the suburbs.</p>
<p>The St. Louis Post Dispatch murder map is a start in demonstrating that violent crime is focused in a few parts of town, and rarely occurs in the rest of the St. Louis region.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m excited to announce that yesterday I moved my business from Keller Williams Realty to Circa Properties.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got nothing bad to say about Keller Williams. This isn&#8217;t about leaving someplace with problems&#8230;it&#8217;s about going someplace that offers new opportunities.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve known Circa&#8217;s owner, Christopher Thiemet, for years. I&#8217;ve always been impressed with the company that he built. In the last few years, Christopher expanded Circa&#8217;s core business from serving primarily St. Louis City to the entire St. Louis metro region. They opened  a new office, known as Circa Central, in order to grow the company and offer better services to agents and clients.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.archcityhomes.com/2013/05/03/arch-city-homes-moves-to-circa-properties/central-exterior-banner_0/" rel="attachment wp-att-10295"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10295 colorbox-10293" alt="Central Exterior Banner 0 Arch City Homes moves to Circa Properties" src="http://www.archcityhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Central-Exterior-Banner_0.jpg" width="605" height="185" title="Arch City Homes moves to Circa Properties" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I love everything about this company. From the people to the culture to the physical space.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.archcityhomes.com/2013/05/03/arch-city-homes-moves-to-circa-properties/circa_central_banner_0/" rel="attachment wp-att-10296"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10296 colorbox-10293" alt="Circa Central Banner 0 Arch City Homes moves to Circa Properties" src="http://www.archcityhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Circa_Central_Banner_0.jpg" width="605" height="185" title="Arch City Homes moves to Circa Properties" /></a></p>
<p>This move will be better for me, and better for my clients.</p>
<p>My clients will continue to get all of the custom designed services that I&#8217;ve offered over the years. Sellers will get custom housing market reports, professional photography and a community focused marketing approach.  Buyers will get connected with the best possible agent to help them find the home of their dreams. Every buyer will work with an agent who will advocate for their needs and give them the same advice the agent would give their closest friends.</p>
<p>Moving forward, my clients will also get all of the wonderful perks Circa Properties provides to every client. You&#8217;ll be learning more about these services in the coming weeks&#8230;but for now&#8230;I&#8217;ll share that listing clients will now be getting custom floor plans included in their marketing and will also have a staging coordinator at their service.</p>
<p>Circa Properties is definitely on the cutting edge of technology too. Like me, they understand the importance of video in today&#8217;s world. Take a look at this video to see more of why I am excited about this company.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qxxg1DVPwm0?rel=0" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>Bigger isn&#8217;t always better. By joining Circa Properties, I&#8217;m joining an office that only hires experienced, full-time agents who put their clients first.</p>
<p>If you hire me, or any Circa agent, you can be confident that you are getting the best in St. Louis.</p>

<h2>The Full Scoop:</h2>
<p>Rare opportunity to own a Brentwood home with swimming pool &amp; over 2100 sf of living space!</p>
<p>Extensive drain tile system installed all around the house means a dry yard &amp; basement!</p>
<p>One of a kind house!</p>
<p>Living room ceiling was removed so you get a vaulted living room and 2nd story loft with new carpeting, ideal for an office, playroom or even guest bedroom. So much charm, you&#8217;ll want to spend all winter with a fire going in the living room.</p>
<p>Plus there is plenty of space to spread out &#8211; bonus family room added which adjoins the dining room and finished lower level. The kitchen was gutted down to the studs, removing walls, opening it up to the dining area to give you the open floor plan rarely found in historic homes.</p>
<p>2nd full bathroom was added too!</p>
<p>Plus you get a hot tub, large deck on the front &amp; back of the house, garage and storage shed!</p>
<p>Top-rated Brentwood Schools and central location makes Brentwood a great investment too!</p>
<p>Home Protection Warranty/pool coverage included!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">The St. Louis Arch is probably the most photographed spot in St. Louis.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Last April, I was in the area and decided to stop and take some pictures. I&#8217;m glad I did. It was a beautiful day and captured what I see and feel when I&#8217;m on the Arch grounds. My favorite shot is the one above. It helps you understand how huge the Arch is if you pay attention to the tiny people at the top of the steps. Look up and you see the viewing windows in the visitor room at the top of the Arch.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I&#8217;m also glad I captured these pictures since big improvements will be coming to the Arch grounds soon. The work will start this summer and is scheduled to be completed in 2015. You can see pictures of the planned improvements just posted at the <a title="See pictures of the new Arch grounds plans" href="http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/blog/2013/04/check-out-the-latest-renderings-of-the.html?s=image_gallery&amp;img_no=1">St. Louis Business Journal</a>.</p>

<p>In 2008, I tried to find a complete list of the free summer concerts in St. Louis, and realized that nothing I found had ALL of the free concerts in the St. Louis area. So, I put together my own list.</p>
<p>Over the last 5 years, this outdoor summer concert post has become the most popular feature on this website (other than <a title="Find ALL St. Louis area MLS listed homes for sale" href="http://www.archcityhomes.com/home-search/">searching for St. Louis homes</a>) so bookmark this page and you can come back year after year.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll get it updated each spring.</p>
<p><strong>One more thing&#8230;I am NOT an organizer of any of the concert series and don&#8217;t book concerts.</strong> If you have a band and want to get on the schedule, or you want more information about a concert series, you need to click through the links and contact the concert organizers directly. I really can&#8217;t help.</p>
<h2>Summer 2013 &#8211; Outdoor Free Concerts:</h2>

<h2>JEFFERSON COUNTY:</h2>
<p>Do you know of any concert series that are FREE and OUTDOOR in JeffCo?</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t find any but that doesn&#8217;t mean they don&#8217;t exist. Let me know the details in the comments below and I&#8217;ll get the Jefferson County concert series added to this annual list too.</p>

<h2>The Full Scoop:</h2>
<p>AMAZING OPPORTUNITY just 1 block to Tilles Park!</p>
<p>Tilles Park has 3 playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball court, hockey rink, racquetball courts, exercise stations, soccer fields, baseball fields and numerous walking/biking paths. The park also hosts a summer movie event and Taste of Tilles event.</p>
<p>Located one block away on a quiet, one way street, you&#8217;ll get all of the advantages of living at the park without the noise and traffic!</p>
<p>That said, the house is so nice that you may never want to leave.</p>
<p>It has stylish decor and updates in every room.</p>
<p>Approximately 1700 square feet of living space PLUS a walk-up attic waiting for you to finish it! This attic could easily be converted into 2 additional bedrooms and a bathroom or a huge master suite. Finish the attic and gain instant equity!</p>
<p>Hard-to-find popular floor plan with dining room to the left of the entry rather than as cut-thru room for the rest of the house. This layout is ideal for both family time and entertaining.</p>
<p>The kitchen has been totally redone &#8211; custom cabinets, granite counters, porcelain tile, stainless appliances, under cabinet lighting, built-in cabinet pantry, even a ceiling fan!</p>
<p>Downstairs you&#8217;ll find the family room, half bath and an additional room with 7&#215;5 walk-in closet that would make a great sleeping area, office or workout room.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t feel like converting the attic?</strong> Leave it alone and use it for storage.</p>
<p>Plus you get a glassed-in porch that is ideal as a playroom or den after you add some carpeting and put in new windows, or remove the windows completely to turn it into a screened porch.</p>
<p>EXTRAS: marble windowsills, water lines recently updated to copper, vinyl flooring in laundry area, workbench, oversized garage, flat/fenced yard, landscaped front yard, brick exterior, quiet friendly street.</p>
<p><em>Home Protection Warranty and refrigerator included.</em></p>
