Saydel schools..good or bad?? (Des Moines: school district, teacher, metro)

[momof3iniowa]

Hi,
I am considering switching my kids to Saydel schools from Des Moines and just wondering if anyone knows anything good or bad about that district. I don't want to make a mistake if they are not good. I have not heard anything either way really other than I know a few people that have graduated from there. Thanks!!

I can't tell you anything from experience but here's a website with some reviews of the district and some surrounding private schools: Saydel Cmty School District - Polk County - Trulia

Don't know what grades your kids are in but Saydel High School got some very good reviews.

Being a graduate from 1971 and my children graduating from Saydel. Now having all my grandchildren going to all of the Saydel schools, our family feels that the teacher to student ratio is a great advantage. Many graduates of Saydel have gone on to own their own businesses in the area and are very successful. Try it, what can it hurt, you will really like the Saydel school district.

probably one of the better schools in the area.

I didn't go there but I have family and friends that did. I went to another metro school years ago myself but would choose saydell over any metro school. They all have their problems. When my Daughter reaches highschool that is one of only 2 I'll consider.
