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 SHARED & PRIVATE Dorm Style Units Available at The Telegraph Commons! 2 blocks from UCB!
I did extensive research on more cost effective, spacious and affordable options in comparison to on-campus housing without a meal plan. Telegraph Commons checked all the boxes, especially with their local management headquarters located in Berkeley with a 24/7 Emergency line (as a parent, I did check this before writing this). Property was clean, leasing person/ agent was kind and empathetic, on-site managers (also called students were GREAT and mature and responsive). My kid could not be happier and as a parent, more relieved.
