Steer Clear Of Ferguson User Rating 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) If you are living in Ferguson, Missouri, leave. If you are thinking of relocating to that city, don't. My husband and I lived there with our two kids for three years and it was awful. The crime, schools, jobs, and housing are completely in the toilet.

There are less than 22,000 ...Read More people in that town, and yet there are rapes, murders, burglaries, and so forth. It is absolutely absurd for a city of that size to have crime so rampant within it's borders. We couldn't stand to raise our children there, especially after the oldest started school, so we moved.

Speaking of which, the school is a joke. The students are not properly instructed resulting in extremely low test scores. I felt as though my child was at a huge disadvantage while attending in Ferguson so we moved away. The best area in Ferguson was near the Ferguson Municipal Public Library on North Florissant Road if you dare to move there. Read Less
