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 Journal Commons
The building has really good noise cancellation and despite the location, kept out a good amount of noise from the bars around the corner and event-goers at the Fiserv. The biggest drawback is the parking. Not only is it not owned by F3, but it is opened up and sold at any game/event/concert happening at the Fiserv. The company that owns it has raised the price 3 times in the year I lived here, from $175 to $180 to $190 (before fees) within 6 months. The public can access the building through the parking garage elevators and stairs and the garage continuously leaves calcium deposits on cars parked under the water lines. Other than that, I would recommend this place.
