School data provided by 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.

Compared to other studios in the area, this is a pretty good deal for rent. However management seems slow to respond to maintenance requests around the building...although there have been a few times where they come the next day to fix something. It's an old building and sometimes the heat is too much in the winter (radiators, no control on your own temperature) but it's better to be too hot than cold in the winter imo
