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 Historic Blue Bell Lofts
Please do not move here. You will be sorry you did. The building is nice and historical but the noise level in this "factory" is unbearable. You can hear every noise as though it's in your own apartment. The noise doesn't stop...ever. Even during the night you can hear your neighbor snore, use the bathroom and cough. Phone calls are never private because people can hear every word. There are a lot of dogs here, which is fine if you don't mind hearing every tap of every toenail on the wood floors. If you are considering moving here, please go talk to some of the residents first. You can always find someone outside. Also, the management is almost non-existent. They have hours listed but are never there. Once you sign the lease, you won't see them again and they certainly won't help with any issues you may have. The rent also goes up every year. They don't tell you that until you're already signing the papers. Please thoroughly check this place out before moving in. Don't let the nice look of the place fool you!
