Is Missouri a good place to raise a family?

Em

I posted about this a couple days ago but my family might relocate to Missouri for my husband's job. I've been there twice and I wasn't overly impressed, but I only spent a couple days there each time. We currently live in New England and I love it here.

Is anyone from Missouri or familiar with the state? We'd specifically be moving to the St Louis area. I have a one-year-old and we'd like to have one or two more babies, so I'm wondering if it's a good place to raise kids. Is there lots to do, good schools, safe, etc.? I would love any input! 😊
