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!)

If you are looking for a quality, affordable preschool with competent and caring teachers and…read moreassistants, Grace Lutheran School is the school to enroll your preschooler at. My son was in Mrs. O'Neal's pre-K class and my daughter was in Ms. Weibe's 3's class and both of them absolutely LOVED going to school everyday. They learned so much to prepare them for the next year of their schooling, whether it is another year in preschool or into Kindergarten. Mrs. O'Neal's Kindergarten preparation with the kids is unparalleled, as she strives to have your child meet Kindergarten requirements before leaving her classroom. In addition to the quality learning and care from the teachers, there are several very flexible and affordable options in the schedules they offer. I'm SO happy we chose to go to Grace!

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.

Great school with thoughtful, caring teachers!

He's learned his shapes, colors and numbers (even counting backwards) in the 2's class this year among other things. I love that they have "tumbling" class options so he can work on his gross motor skills - he's so much better at jumping, somersaults, and walking on balance beams now! Very affordable, a variety of options for days/times, I highly recommend this preschool!

The school is small and that is a good thing because it allows the students to participate in activities that some larger school could not. They are able to go on specialty field trips that are a lot of fun for the students.
