Christ The King School

Discrimination is a constant at this school from administrators if your child is not a minority. Young kindergarten Students are isolated for multiple recesses and in the class room setting for repeating behaviors learned from other students. Another student can strike and hit your child, but if your child responds or sticks up for themselves they are punished for it, not the instigator that caused the situation to begin with. A black student made a racial slur and was not reprimanded for it at all, my white child repeated what the black child said and was suspended for two days for repeating the same word said to him to begin with. Absences where not excused and he was refused to go to his after school program but I am still required to pay for said program he is not allowed to attend now. The administrators at this school play favorites, if your child doesn’t fit into that niche they are a constant target and will be constantly sent home. My child has absolutely no issues in his multiple extra curricular activities outside of school, never received a single negative report in his school the year prior, and has no issues in his private daycare outside of school. This is the only place, the school refuses to work towards any sort of resolution and continues to constantly isolate and punish my child for any little thing. He is 5 years old and I’m told he has extreme impulse control, again behavior I have never witnessed and has never happened else where. I receive constant phone calls of my son crying hysterically and he hates coming to school here. DMPS refuses to release him from the school so we can take him elsewhere.

The best school in Des Moines.Teachers are very dedicated and kind.

This school was absolutely horrible. No teaching got done whatsoever in at least the middle school area. My teenager would come with no homework, no learning done, completely bored and uneducated. Always kids fighting, yelling, out of control with the teachers completely ignoring and given up on the students. It was the worst decision to send my child to St. Anthony’s. Nothing Catholic about this school, completely unprofessional, my child came to me that they had been in the office and were asked to translate when a parent that hadn’t spoke fluent English came in. Absolutely terrible, all the drama at their school and they kept trying to change me fees that I didn’t know about, even after my child graduated. I feel so dissatisfied with the school NEVER EVER SEND YOUR CHILD THERE!!!
