Original Research by School Decision on Beaumont Cte High School
Beaumont CTE High School is a public high school in St. Louis, Missouri, serving grades nine through twelve. As its name suggests, the school focuses on career and technical education, though the state classifies it as a regular school. It is part of the St. Louis City district.
The student body of approximately that size for a high school is highly diverse. Roughly half the students are Black, around a third are Hispanic, about one in eight are White, and a smaller share are Asian. Every enrolled student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, a reflection of the economic circumstances of the families the school serves. Information on the number of students with individualized education programs or English learner status was not available in the data reviewed.
The school sits in St. Louis, an independent city with a mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial districts. The city’s economy draws on services, manufacturing, trade, transportation, and aviation, and it hosts major employers including the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, and research universities. Cultural anchors such as the Gateway Arch, Forest Park, the Saint Louis Zoo, and the Missouri Botanical Garden are also in the city. The area around the school is one where home values are well below state and national medians and have seen a notable year-over-year decline; rents are comparatively low. This translates into a housing market that is far more affordable than typical for the region and country.
State testing data for Beaumont CTE High School was not available, so there is no public record of how students perform on standardized assessments in subjects like English and math. The four-year graduation rate also was not reported. A parent considering this school may want to ask directly how the school tracks and shares student outcomes, and whether a CTE-focused pathway results in alternative credentials or assessments. The school’s data does not include information on course offerings, so details about Advanced Placement, dual credit, or specific career programs were not available from the sources used here.
No recent school-level changes or district initiatives were found in the period examined, so there is no indication of a recent turnaround effort or restructuring.
Overall, Beaumont CTE High School serves a high-poverty, racially diverse student population in a city with a strong institutional base but a challenging local housing market. Academic performance and graduation figures are absent from public records, making it difficult to gauge typical outcomes without contacting the school directly.
