    I do not recommend this complex. You can hear everything going on in the apartments surrounding you. If you like a good nights sleep, you will not find that at Central Bay.

    Nice and quiet. Great management that takes care of the complex. Park right in front of your door. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, instead of looking out at another apartment!

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 scale of 1 (below average) and 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 needs as part of the school selection process.
