The area is great for walking, running, biking, outdoor exercise, and convenient everyday living. The neighborhood is also growing quickly, with the Western Avenue Innovation Corridor, Harvard’s expanding Allston campus, Allston LabWorks, NEXUS, Harvard’s Enterprise Research Campus, Harvard research and innovation spaces, and the future A.R.T. / Goel Center bringing new office, lab, retail, restaurant, cultural, civic, residential, and public open-space amenities to the area.

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.
