Residents enjoy close access to several popular retail destinations along 14th street, including Southridge Mall and Southgate Shopping Center. Weeks Middle School is located on Park Avenue, giving many local students the option of getting to class on foot. Des Moines International Airport is just a couple of minutes to the west and Downtown is only a short drive up 14th Street, putting the capital city’s best attractions and resources easily within reach.

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.
