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.

      Amazing attitudes/ amazing work ethics

      Apartment Manager Deanna and Ashley went above and beyond to ensure I felt very comfortable and welcomed with open arms, even before my lease was approved. Made sure my needs were met, and everything was ready and squared away by move-in just like was said. I’d highly recommend an apartment community like this to anyone. (I never write reviews)
