Summary

Brentwood High is a public high school located in Brentwood, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with 191 students. The school has consistently been ranked among the top high schools in Missouri, maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for many years and outperforming nearby schools like Kirkwood Senior High, Gateway Science Academy High, and Ladue Horton Watkins High on key metrics.

Brentwood High has maintained an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate for the past two school years, significantly higher than the state average. The school also consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, with significantly higher percentages of students scoring proficient or better in subjects like Algebra I, Biology I, English II, and Algebra II. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 67.5% of Brentwood High students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 45.4%.

Despite its strong academic performance, Brentwood High serves a more socioeconomically diverse student population compared to some of the higher-ranked nearby schools, such as Ladue Horton Watkins High and Clayton High, which have lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This demonstrates the school's ability to consistently deliver quality education to a diverse student body.
