IN working with students from this area, I have heard them repeatedly say that Hazelwood West is the best option in the Hazelwood district. The students here do seem to fare well academically - ACT scores are acceptable, most students move on to attend some form of college, etc. However, I do feel there are better options elsewhere in the St. Louis County system. In terms of extracurricular options, they have pretty much anything a student could desire to participate in.
