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 Cosmopolitan
Most of the appliances are very old and do not work as well considering the price. Had a persistent bug problem that I received very little help with solving from the building. Manager is nasty and has a terrible attitude.
Cosmopolitan is situated conveniently in Center City accessible to public transportation, groceries, shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and nightlife. Mostly everything is walkable. The door men, maintenance staff, and the manager Bonni are very responsive and kind. I chose to move here because it was absolutely the best value in town. I hated to move. Unfortunately I had to move for personal reasons. Otherwise, I would have continued to renew the lease.
This two bedroom two bath apartment has high ceilings and loads of space. Recently updated bathroom and kitchen with W/D , dishwasher and garbage disposal. Huge windows provide lots of light with great views. Located in the heart of center city Philadelphia, this location couldn't be any better for dining, shopping and nightlife.
