School Overview

Des Moines sits along the Puget Sound waterfront just south of Seattle, and Parkside Elementary reflects the working-class, tight-knit character of the community it serves. Academics here are a growth area, and families who are engaged and proactive about supplementing their child's learning will find the most success. That said, the Highline district has been investing in its schools, and for families rooted in this affordable, water-adjacent corner of King County, Parkside is the neighborhood school that keeps the community connected.
