  • Don’t live here

    May 23, 2018
    I been living here for the past few months and it’s terrible. The property manager does a terrible job getting back in touch with residents. Someone was shot and killed across from my building. The heat is never on. My first day in my apartment things needed to be fixed. Please choose somewhere else to live. You also have to pay water, light, and gas with rent.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
