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 Wessex Apartments
Do not expect to get your deposit back. They are petty and unprofessional. There are several better choices out there. I do not recommend this property or Hunziker management.
Property Manager at Wessex Apartments, Responded To This Review
Hello Tracy, thank you for taking the time to review Wessex Apartments. We greatly apologize that you were not satisfied with the level of service that was provided to your daughter during her time here. Wessex prides itself on the customer service it provides to each resident in every unique situation. According to records, it does appear that this issue was handled through on-site management and upper management to assist in resolving accordingly. Additionally, records show that an amount higher than the security deposit itself was refunded. Thank you, Wessex Management
very weak management with no respect for the tenant
