School data provided by 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.

Cannot get anyone to answer telephone or emails

I have tried numerous time to contact management for a tour, both by phone and by email from this website. To date I have received no contact back. If management is unable to communicate with potential residents then not the place for me. That is sad because I knew folks who used to live there and this complex came highly recommened.
