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.

unresolved problems

Management did not take issues seriously and offered very little in way of compensation when the building was without consistent hot water for multiple weeks. Cute building, corporate management is terrible.

3/6/24
good property, poor management

The building itself is great, but the hot water wasn't working for a month and they didn't give anyone a rent credit or anything.
