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 Steel Lake Plaza
My wife and I lived at the Steel Lake Plaza Apartment for quite sometimes now. We like the old folks that used to live here, love the surrounding communities; the lakes, shopping mall, transit center and nearby grocery stores. However, a newly moved in neighbor across the unit played loud music with strong base at various times; day, nights, weekends, and so early (right before dawn). They stomped as they make their journey up and down the stairs. Very inconsiderate people. Garbage spilled (chicken/ pork bones) and it’s juice dripped on the stairways. It stinks! Use to have someone stopped by once a month to clean and vacuum the stairways — not anymore. I have communicated the same issues to the property manager 4-5 times already. She told me that she will check with her manager, before taking any legal actions. I know that she has tried, and she sounded very genuine as well. I told her I appreciated her efforts. Otherwise than that the rental price of the properties at Steel Lake Plaza has been increased substantially, but no improvement whatsoever. Not that I’m aware of anyway. I just want to give an honest review of this place. Thanks! Steve
