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 40 East Oak
I hate that I'm leaving a 1 star review but the 40 East Oak building management truly deserve it. In my two years of residence they have been consistently rude, unwilling to address issues and disruptive to my living experience. I've had to have my bathroom redone 4x this year because of a leak that they won't fix - and they won't give any reduction in rent or admit the issue exists. Other management issues: - Rent rates are not consistent - do not sign here without pushing back. My friend lives in a significantly larger unit and pays $150 less per month than me. - They increase rent for residents who want to resign but keep open units at lower rent rates (my rent increased $75 monthly but the open identical unit on my floor was offered at lower than my previous rate). - Elevators are often down - particularly the freight elevator which is the only one that leads to the laundry room and gym. Door staff is wonderful - they are the only upside!
Best location in the Gold Coast. Lake access is a half a block and the rooftop gives a great view of the city and lake. Any service issue or apartment touch up has been responded to and complete within 24 hours. They want you to feel like this is your home.
