All my 3 kids of different ages went to Basic Steps and loved it! I've known Kany since 2014 (?)…read morewhen I enrolled my 1st child and her school has grown so much since then! I'm so amazed at how she's able to handle curriculum for different levels and know all the kids by their 1st names. She also noticed that my 2nd son was advanced for his age and, along with a few other 4 year olds, she made advanced lessons just for them. My son loved it cuz he felt more challenged and up till now (he's in 4th grade already) still remembers those lessons he learned from Kany and says those were harder than 2nd grade in public school, but it was more fun! I brought my 3rd child there who just graduated pre school this past spring as well and he loved Kany and all his teachers. Anyways, I only have good things to say about Basic Steps and Kany and I wish her all the best!

I scheduled an appointment with Highline's Financial Aid Office two months in advance, but because…read moreI arrived 15 minutes late due to work, my appointment was canceled on the spot. I then checked in at the office and was given a 108-minute wait time through their outdated sign-in system. After waiting over an hour with no update or email (despite a sign stating that we would receive one upon check-in), I asked about my place in line. I was told they couldn't help me. When I asked again about the missing email confirmation, I was told I'd need to sign in again and start my wait all over, essentially wasting the hour I had already spent. At every step it felt like I was hitting intentional barriers rather than being helped. The lack of communication, transparency, and empathy for students -- many of whom are juggling jobs and classes -- is unacceptable. This office badly needs a modernized system and staff who are willing to assist students instead of pushing them back to the start.

The school helped me with my studies by helping me land a part-time job at a local gymnastics facility. I wholeheartedly suggest for professional and academic advancement.

Overall a great high school. Lots of excellent teachers - there are a few really bad teachers (but…read moreI'm sure that's the case anywhere). Office Staff/Administrators/Counselors all very accessible and helpful. They do a great job of having all school activities for both students and parents. They do have a FWPD officer on site however there is not a lot of drug/violence on campus that I see (especially compared to other FW High Schools).

There are not enough words to express how much we love Sonia and Nourishing the Future.

alicia t, what makes…read moreyou say shes a pedo? she is a nice woman who cared for everyones safety and was a great teacher. she has moved on from her career as a teacher 2 years ago, meaning she no longer teaches at st philomena. so unless you are a parent of a student who graduated years prior (i assume you arent.) then tell us proof that she is a pedo. if you are a parent of a new student, you had the audacity to falsely accuse a teacher who retired 2 years ago. she cared, loved, and occasionally visits students of st philomena. she loved students no matter looks, religion, gender, or intelligence. so if you do have any proof, please say your childs name and proof. if she was a pedo, then why has nobody come out against her with actual proof? she wouldve been fired long ago if she was accused properly.

So not actually having a child enrolled in this school MAY mess with my ability to accurately judge…read morethe quality of this school....but my rating is as a spectator. Midway Elementary has two of the best playgrounds in DesMoines! A fantastic overall facility, and sits right next-door to Mt. Rainer HS's facility,track, pools, gym, tennis courts & more. I'd say that if my kids weren't in private school, they'd be in this school, for sure. (p.s. I've heard a lot of positive feedback from parents who's kids actually go here!)
