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.

Hidden Gem in Ames

I absolutely loved living at Walnut Ridge apartments. I don't think you'll find anywhere as good as this in Ames. The apartments are HUGE and the rent isn't crazy like in some of the other high end apartments. The apartments are pretty good quality too. The walls are a little thin, but it just depends on who your neighbors are. They give each unit 4 parking spots plus there is guest parking available. It's also a couple minutes walk to the bus stop to get to campus which is very convenient. If it's a slow time it takes like 5 minutes to get to campus on the bus. Also it's next to HyVee and McDonalds which is very convenient for college students who want to save time. I miss living here already - my favorite apartment I've lived in.
