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 The Barlum
I’ve been living at 25 E Palmer for a few months now and absolutely love it. The building has that classic Detroit prewar charm but with all the modern updates—new appliances, fun finishes, great parking, and everything feels fresh and clean. It’s in a perfect spot in Midtown, super close to Wayne State, the DIA, and a bunch of great spots to eat, grab coffee, or just hang out. The management team is super responsive and keeps the place in great shape. It honestly feels like a hidden gem in the city—definitely recommend it!
