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.

Property Ratings at Meadow Ridge
Meadow Ridge has been a great place to live. I lived there with my Mom before moving out of state and she stayed for several years after. It's location, location, location! Close to the interstate and minutes to both Jordan Creek and Valley West. Having an apartment with a standard huge and beautiful fireplace is amazing for the cold Iowa winters as well as having a garage! I encourage you to check them out!
Nice apartments with full size washer and dryers. They have several apartment layouts to choose from, depending on what you are looking for. The location is great, very close to the interstate and only a few miles from downtown Des Moines. It is only a few miles from the Jordan Creek area and Valley West Mall. It is safe and quiet. The rent is very reasonable for West Des Moines. The apartment staff is friendly and helpful when called for repairs or questions. I really enjoy living here!
