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.

Great for Downtown City Living!

I am coming up on my 2nd year here and very happy. Units were about brand new when I got my unit and has been very easy to maintain. Has everything you need including Laundry. Utilities aren't too high either. I have severe allergies and can't do carpet so this place has been a god-send for me!
