Fern Ridge High School is an alternative high school for Parkway School District students. It is located on North Olive Spur Road, on the outskirts of Creve Coeur. It is an application-only school, and it is the student who decides if he or she will attend this school, as opposed to a decision made by parents, the school district or juvenile court systems. Enrollment is restricted to 110 students, so they can receive individualized instruction.
