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 Lyric
I love Lyric the amenities and location are amazing with wonderful views of Walnut Creek the team there all work really hard especially Cherry she is always the most helpful and caring Manager you can tell she genuinely cares for the tenants
Property Manager at Lyric, Responded To This Review
We're delighted to hear that you love living in our community! Our amenities and location are indeed amazing, and we're glad you're enjoying the wonderful views of Walnut Creek. We're proud to have Cherry as our manager, and we're thrilled that her helpful and caring nature has made a positive impact on your experience. Thank you for your kind words!
The staff is friendly and helpful, but the infrastructure maintains a thin veneer of quality overlaying a truly slapdash job. I've lived here for a few years, and there have been 2 major floods. One destroyed several apartments on the 2nd and 3rd stories of the north building along with the leasing office and package room, and the second hit the garage. We had half the elevators break and not be fixed for around a year. Lyric expects luxury prices but does not provide that degree of experience. Another example is the removal of resident amenities - residents used to have codes to get in and out, and they have been outright removed under the guise of a software update because it was too inconvenient to monitor for nonresident use.
