The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at 1500 Chicago Ave
We leased here for two years while my wife was in grad school. Overall, great building, responsive management team, and value rental rates (especially compared to some of the luxury apartments that keep popping up in Evanston!). Downsides of the building are that some units are due for renovation, and that the lobby is straight out of the 1950s - however, no real complaints with our unit!
