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 Woodland West
Place is infested with roaches and they don't do anything to get rid of them. They are very slow to get back to you with maintenence issues. My shower has been broken for 2 months and water has been coming up through my bedroom floor for a month now and they haven't even got back to me about fixing it. Very over priced place for the crap you have to deal with
Do not rent from this place. I lived there for multiple years. They over charge for the lack of service they provide. There is black mold and cockroaches. They have a deal with crow tow and will tow cars from places not labeled with signs. Professionals come in to fix and give recommendations and the company refuses to complete them. I became friends with a past mantaince man who left because the new staff was doing things shady.
these apartment are ok the floors are uneven and you can feel your neighbors walk cause the floor vibrates and the halls are not very clean i have called to the office twice about the outside lights not being on at night being a women i don't fell safe
Although kind to potential tenants, staff seems overworked. Although spacious, units appear poorly maintained. Tenant issues could be managed better with adequate quantity of staffing. It appears behind the scenes management executives or owners are more interested in making money than having a quality reputation. This is not a four star complex.
