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’ve been living here for 6 years and I’ve never had any issues whatsoever. Maintenance attends jobs quickly and the front office lady’s are nice. The complex is pretty clean and quiet. The location couldn’t be better as it has easy access to major highways and it’s right in the middle of town with major stores within a 2 minute drive!

Maintenence guy is real go getter too. Hes knowledgeable and doesn't leave a mess. The leasing lady might be the most pleasant lady I've ever met.
