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 Commonwealth Apartments
Roaches. The units themselves aren’t bad and at an okay price but this building is absolutely infested. I do not cook or leave a speck of food out in fear of the amount of cockroaches I find in my spotless unit. I am even sleeping on my couch and friends couches since seeing one in my bed a week or so ago. Even hygiene Is suffering because every time I shower there is a good chance I will see a cockroach. Please save yourself the mental anguish and pay a little more to actually be able to use your kitchen and sleep at night.
