Have Any Idea What All the Property in the Ladue School District is Worth?

Several hundred million, but none of it is for sale other than the old Wright School property.

If someone was to sell their house, they would get a real estate agent or an assessor to put a valuation on that particular piece of property. The agent would add up the square footage, count the number of rooms, fixtures and value of the property and come up with a given figure.

The Ladue School District is no different. Though no buildings will be up for sale (other than the location of the old Early Childhood Center), millions of dollars are wrapped up in value to the district.

Here’s a look at the school buildings in the district, their founding years and current assessed valuations.
