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.

UCA is terrible. Don't rent any of their property!

Infested with insects/rodents and the buildings are falling apart but the worse is the management and maintenance. They will take forever to fix it or do a good job. For simple tasks, they are quick but the things that really matter, you are doomed. At the end of the day, you will end up wasting a lot of time, getting stressed out and not having a apartment with living conditions. But god forbid you are late for rent by 1 day, they will fine you. They will take months to repair something but please don't be late for rent. haha. Such a bad place. If there is a 0 star, I would give it.
