As a past student, this is by far the worst school I’ve ever been to. Teachers didn’t know how to handle students, and nothing was learned. One fourth grade teacher was known for weight shaming students, and in fifth grade students were assigned to come up with a dieting plan as part of a “health and math related assignment.” Students were told to count calories and encouraged to loose weight by the end of the assignment. Bullying was not dealt with, and from what I remember there were several allegations against teachers for inappropriate behavior towards students. Don’t send your kids here.

"Great Character in the homes. People are super friendly and you will likely see them outside doing one thing or another. We’re close to the interstate and very centrally located."

"Beaverdale is the hidden gem of Des Moines. Wonderfully unique and character filled houses, beautiful big trees and fantastic people. It is like a little village - safe friendly and outstanding to live in. Close to everything but hidden enough away to feel that it is it's own place."

"The "Chamberlain Heights" neighborhood in the Waveland Park Association is fantastic! Neighbors are active with yearly block parties and you meet so many people as they walk their pets, or stroll over to the Shops At Roosevelt."
