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.

I have lived in this complex for a little over 6 months and I love it! I love the modern design, co-worker space, workout facilities, and all the events that happen throughout the year. The front office staff is extremely friendly and the maintenance team is always efficient with getting workorders fulfilled. The complex is also conveniently located between downtown Wilmington and Wrightsville beach. Highly recommend booking a tour if you are looking to move within the Wilmington area!
