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 Ashley Trace Apartments
This place could be so much better than it it. It needs up-to-date appliances and amenities. The Laundry rooms are DISGUSTING and they always smell like mildew and they are filthy. I go to the laundry mat not too far because the washing machine DO NOT drain all the water out of your clothes. The dumpster areas are deplorable. You will see roaches and spiders, but I can say this when I told the rental office they did send pest control out immediately. Mail boxes don't lock and I have been saying something about that since I moved in. There is no visitor parking which is stupid. Neighbors are LOUD and OBNOXIOUS... UGH. If I can't find another place before my lease is up I guess I'll be here for another LOOOOONNNNGGGG year. My adivce is to TREAD LIGHTLY
This place is beyond filthy it’s inhabitable and should be condemned. It’s one of the worst slum sites I’ve ever seen. The pests are out of control with everything from bed bugs to roaches and spiders to some unidentifiable critter that even doctors can’t place, and there’s Blood shed all over the laundry facilities. They are horrific and have no qualms about the danger they put resident children and senior citizens in with this kind of unlivable condition. It’s the worst of the worst, I’ve seen abandoned buildings in better condition.
Pest control has always expressed surprise that I manage to keep "so fee" reaches, as compared to the other dwellings, but it is too many roaches for me. The mold has also made us all very sick.
