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 Gardens Apartments
I have recently moved in to the gardens apartments, and my move-in experience was nothing but exceptional. Zoe and Vladimir were of great help and they made sure everything went smooth. The apartment itself was recently renovated. The rent is very reasonable compared to the average rent in SD.
