St. Louis, Missouri Area School District Named Top 10 in America

It's a great honor and should be celebrated, but I do have questions. A St. Louis, Missouri area school district was just named one of the top 10 in America.

Let's begin with the facts. One of the more prestigious rankings for education has just been issued by Niche. They have just released their best school districts in America list for 2025. Yes, 2025. More on that in a moment. In their top 10 is a St. Louis, Missouri area school district.

Congrats, Ladue School District in St. Louis, Missouri, the 6th best school district in America.

This is a great honor as Niche really does include a massive amount of academic rankings to decide which school districts are doing a great job and which ones aren't. For the Ladue School District to be recognized as one of the top 10 in America is awesome.

My only question is about the 2025 aspect of this. Last time I checked the calendar, we're still in 2024. Is this a case similar to the Madden video game series where they release a game one year, but name it for the one to follow? The fact that I'm associating this with video game logic explains why I was NOT the valedictorian for my high school class I suppose.
