Neighborhood

Nestled to the east of Des Moines International Airport, the Fort Des Moines neighborhood represents the link between a bustling urban metropolis and rich farmland that defines the state of Iowa. The area sits at the doorstep of one of the area's busiest malls, Southridge Mall, and businesses packed along both sides of Army Post Road afford residents quick access to an array of everyday amenities. One of the Des Moines area's primary bicycle trails slices right through the Fort Des Moines neighborhood, connecting residents to a sense of bucolic wonder near numerous apartments available for rent.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
