What stands out about how Town and Country is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Parkway C-2 School District
Town and Country’s K–12 school district, shared with Country Life Acres, Manchester, Winchester, Creve Coeur, Maryland Heights and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $14,660 per pupil, $8,701 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Missouri districts overall: 54% local, 35% state, 11% federal.

No comparison or trend for Town and Country yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Town and Country’s 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so they aren’t compared. It reported 2022 only, so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
