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 Thompson
I’m staying here for my third year and have not had any big issues with the place. The complex I’ve been in hadn’t had problems and any maintenance requests have been achieved fairly quickly. Looking forward to my last year here!
Property Manager at The Thompson, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your residency at The Thompson and for sharing your positive experience. We appreciate your acknowledgement of our maintenance team's responsiveness and are glad you've enjoyed your time here so far. We look forward to making your final year just as great.
The complex always smells like weed. When we first moved in my roommate had mold growing in her cabinets. There are always maintenance requests being made not by me but by the complex and when I kindly tell them or ask them to not enter a space they DO NOT need to be in they disregard the request and help themselves into anything. I put up a sign says to not go in my closet and even put tape on my door to see if they would and when I got home the sign was gone and the closet door was wide open. I have never felt so uncomfortable to live in a place ever in my life. I contacted to office and all they said was “I’ll see what I can do”. Completely disregarding that their own staff decided to wonder my room. A place THAT I pay for this is not okay. I have come home to my bed completely move because their was an “issue” with the WiFi box but then when I called they said said WiFi box was in my closet (there is nothing in my closest but a water spout thing for a fire). They are so unprofessional for this and I DO NOT recommend living here.

My family knew before I did that this was the place for me lol. So far amazing rates, speedy maintenance, good roommate matching (besties w 1/2), the staff is so sweet and always hold cute events up front and has a pretty funny n clever social media presence. Deffff recommend to anyone I hear is looking because I only have good things to say.

I have had such a good experience with The Thompson. Between the staff, the quality, and the affordable prices it is one great apartment for a college student.

Management is extremely poor and living here has caused so many problems.
The water is constantly cold or not working at all, our dryer has been broken for months, the dumpster is constantly overflowing with trash and the smell is so bad i can smell it from my window. Our hallway lights have been out since i moved in, i have been overcharged for my rent multiple times, they don’t tell you when your payment for your rent doesn’t go through so you can accumulate over 100 dollars in late fees. I give this place two stars because i seriously do not like it here but the staff is super friendly and helpful.
Definite recommend this property if it’s within budget! The management is very nice and caring, my apartment flooded due to my upstairs neighbors and the team took care of my apartment in a timely manner and made sure I had a place to stay in the meantime. The rooms are nice and the apartment is really pretty and modern. Love how many dogs I saw everyday too. The flats are really cool because they maintain temperatures really well being on the first floor. I only moved because I got a job out of state.
