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 Vista Pines
Had the best experience with the property manager Tammy she was extremely helpful and very approachable. Move in process was simple and easy which I loved! Love the apartment very quiet and everyone is so friendly!
I would not recommend moving into this place. There are roaches. The water has gone out every month for the past 8 months leaving the entire complex without hot water for upwards to a week at a time. 10/10 wouldn’t recommend
