Peabody School: One of the Best! Principal Luther Pollard keeps threatening he'll retire. He's been there 31 years. He has a great staff, plenty of involved parents. Who says city schools are "inferior?" They've never been to Peabody Elementary! Peabody also houses the St. Louis Housing Family Literacy Program, where you can get your G.E.D. and build parenting skills, with your pre-school children right there with you.
