Fort Zumwalt School District Opening Fourth High School June 21, 2007
Posted by Webmaster in Education, Urban Sprawl.trackback
Indicative of the phenomenon called “suburban sprawl,” or more properly, white flight, the Fort Zumwalt School District, which mostly corresponds to the St. Charles County cities of St. Peters and O’Fallon, is constructing a fourth high school, which will open this fall.
Fort Zumwalt will join five other Missouri school districts, three of those previous five being in the St. Louis metro area, those being St. Louis City, Rockwood and Parkway, that have at least four regular high schools.
Not coincidentally, the St. Louis City Public Schools has been closing high schools for the last few decades. St. Louis is not a growing region in terms of population, so the growth in St. Charles County of both people and school-aged students means that some other area lost population.
