I think Des Moines Christian is a great faith-based school that I would no doubt send my kids to as well, however, I believe they are way more interested in appearances than just being a school for God. A lot of it goes into pleasing the donors which makes sense because they have built a lot of our school for us.

I moved to Des Moines Christian school halfway through my sophomore year. When I got there everyone accepted me and I felt like I had a personal connection with my teacher and classmates right away. My grades overall became way better because I was able to learn more from these teachers and if I struggled they were patient with me. One thing I'd say that could change is some of the higher up staff members wanting to become a lot bigger. Once you become such a big school you lose the personal connections with everyone.

If you have money and are outspoken you have friends no matter what. If you don't have either and are...

I can't emphasize enough how great the teaching staff is at DMCS. My math teacher stayed after school with me 3 days a week without extra pay, just because I...
