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 Elmcrest
Very understanding and courteous. Management takes care of everything from pest control to maintenance. Management actually hears what I say and always works to correct the issue.
I love how the management is on top of everything. If I ever have an issue with maintenance it is taken care of. They have great floor plans and reasonable rent.
