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 Gardens at Polaris Apartments
I've live here for 2.5 years, never had any issues with neighbors, I always see children having fun outside, pretty quiet, the staff has always been kind and professional, and they always fix any issues asap. I'm going to move out soon to move in with my boyfriend and I'm honestly pretty sad to leave.
Property Manager at The Gardens at Polaris Apartments, Responded To This Review
We are so glad to hear that your experience here at The Gardens at Polaris was 5-star and that we were able to make our community feel like home. We appreciate your loyalty during your time here and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors! Take care!
This is the MOST UNSAFE apartment community in the Polaris area. Recently there is a series of burglaries happened in this apartment community. Also there were many incidents where cars were damaged and stolen. However, the apartment management is not willing to take any actions on that. PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. I am also planning to leave this place soon.
