Pattonville School District

What Pattonville School District does

Pattonville R-III School District is a public K-12 school district headquartered in St. Ann within St. Louis County, Missouri, formally established in 1930 and operating continuously since. It serves 6,130 students in grades K-12 plus 231 preschool students across a 27-square-mile boundary that includes Bridgeton, Creve Coeur, Maryland Heights, St. Ann, and surrounding unincorporated St. Louis County areas. Instruction is delivered through ten schools: an early childhood center, five elementary schools, one K-8 school of choice (Academy of Innovation at Remington), two middle schools, and one comprehensive high school, supplemented by alternative education through the POSITIVE School for grades 6-12 and a fully virtual instruction option.

The district runs a layered educational technology stack rather than a single product: PowerSchool is used as the student information system; Canvas as the primary learning management system; Clever as a single sign-on portal; SeeSaw for grades K-5; Bloomz for school-to-home communications; Schoolinks and Missouri Connections for college and career planning; MySchoolBucks and Nutrislice for food-service payments and menus; Weembarc for curriculum content delivery; and Empower as a student data portal. A proprietary Success-Ready Student Dashboard aggregates real-time quantitative and qualitative indicators of student progress through ICAPs, assessments, and post-secondary outcomes. The district operates under a three-year DESE innovation waiver through the Success-Ready Students Network that authorizes growth-based assessments.

Pattonville is a government entity funded primarily by local property taxes (debt service levy at 49 cents per $100 of assessed value), Missouri DESE state aid, and federal education funds including ESSER. Approved operating revenue for the FY2026-2027 school year is $120.7 million, with a $4 million draw from reserves projected to manage rising operational costs against flat local revenue. The district carries no tuition for residents; transaction-based fees apply only to food services and before/after-school care. Governance is provided by an elected seven-member Board of Education, with Superintendent leadership and department-level administration. As a public institution, Pattonville has no parent company and does not raise private capital.
