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 Spectra Southside (Student)
The location is amazing, the manager can help you solve problems in a timely manner, the living environment is relaxed and friendly, and the price is very affordable. I really like it.
roach galore - on my bed, in my sink, on my ceiling. Whole building issue. I told them about this multiple times and they brought pest control and then stopped for a couple of months and then the roach problem got worse. Pest control has skipped my room despite me asking. They don't care about you. The whole building needs to get fumigated. Disgusting bathroom and kitchen conditions. Always a foul smell in the hallways and kitchen. The onsite staff are friendly, but the building condition is so run down you can 100% find a better place at the same price.
The main thing I wish someone would have told me is that there are roaches here before I signed my lease, now I have to shake out my shoes and clothing before put them on. I’m scared to have people over I’m terrified that I’m gonna leave the house one day and there will be a roach on my clothing
Many days the toilet paper is out and we have to call someone to get it refilled. Needs daily attention to all bathroom floors. Not always quick to put mail in mailboxes
Been pretty chill and I like the view from my window. Like the sink and fridge. The room gets pretty warm sometimes and I don’t like that as much. Overall I like the room.
good: rooms are pretty spacious for a decent price. bad: roaches in kitchen, trash, bathrooms,, bathrooms haven't been fixed, loud noise from kips through night.
Great safe place for family friends friendly city and area to hang out and meet and great .short walking distance from Bart station and more.
There has been a significant decrease in quality since I started renting here three years ago. Bathroom cleaning is now weekly, not daily as it used to be, leading to clogged toilets for days at a time, and dirty floors and showers, and the building has become infested with cockroaches, with little action taken on behalf of management. I would not rent here again and will be ending my lease here at the end of this year.
Great location in the heart of the city with wonderful newly renovated amenities. Always something going on with lots of friendly faces to greet each day. Great staff. lol
Location is amazing and staff is friendly. Public spaces are clean and nice for hosting study sessions. Noise level went up a little this semester but mostly people are very respectful.
No internet in room, some residents do not clean up after their mess in the bathroom and kitchen, elevator needs repainting, sink in my room has not been unclogged since I moved in 3 days ago (I have to line up in the long queue), but the staff are friendly
The staff is professional and helpful. The location is very convenient and management is constantly upgrading and adding useful features to the building.
I’m happy with my first week in the building on Telegraph. The bathrooms, kitchen, and study room are kept clean and well-maintained. Recently, the laundry room was updated with new machines, and they are working well. The residents in the building are also friendly.
Great customer service , highly recommend. Definitely worth going on a tour if you are interested. For the price and service it’s worth 3 minutes from UC Berkeley
Greatly customer service .people who answered the phone and assisted me witch was very helpful and nice they weren’t yelling and hanging up and I got my lease approved in 24 hours thanks to this program and their staff
I've overall really enjoyed my experience so far. My unit has a great view of Telegraph and the mountains and my fire escape is very aesthetic.
Affordable housing in a hip area! Good for students and young people. Complex is pretty quiet and staff is very attentive to your needs and makes you feel welcome!
The staff are always extremely responsive and have made my experience absolutely phenomenal. Every time I call with a question, I am answered with enthusiasm. Ideally, I would love to have more kitchens.
Living at Spectra Southside is very convenient due to its location near to campus and many eating locations. The amenities are provided are very useful and management is friendly and helpful.
Great customer service and unbeatable distance from Berkeley campus. I would recommend for anyone looking for a cheap housing alternative instead of dorming
