      July 21, 2015
      Centrally located in Downtown Des Moines with all inclusive amenities. The building has a heated basement garage and each unit has a spacious balcony with downtown views. The only downside is that some of the units are slightly dated if they have not been updated as it is an older building.

    details
    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 scale of 1 (below average) and 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 needs as part of the school selection process.
