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.

Amazing location, good amenities, nice and friendly staff that seem to actually seem invested in your happiness. Only downside is they like to party here… always a little bit of noise and occasionally a drunken mess.

Living at the Meridian has been a great experience. The apartment itself is very spacious, offering plenty of room to relax, entertain, and set up a comfortable living space. The layout feels open and welcoming, which makes it easy to feel at home. One of the biggest highlights is the view—whether in the morning or evening, it’s a wonderful part of the daily experience here. Location is also a huge advantage. Being so close to downtown makes it easy to get to restaurants, shops, and entertainment, while campus is just a quick trip away, making it especially convenient for students or faculty. The combination of space, comfort, and accessibility really sets the Meridian apart. Overall, it’s a well-rounded place to live for anyone looking for convenience without sacrificing comfort

It has been pretty good so far, I just wish laundry machines were inside each apartment and therefore would be free to use. I also do not like how electricity is not included in the fixed rate for rent.
