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 U at California
I signed my lease during the summer to rent at the U next year. The process was easy and management answered all my questions. They recently had to make some changes to the move-in date and set up very reasonable accommodations for all tenants during the expected delay period. So far 5/5 for management and customer service.
