    The management is terrible, the walls are thinner than paper, you can hear the people upstairs every movement, the rooms and living areas are extremely small for the price, restroom was terrible, it gets so loud on Durant every day and there is on going construction

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.
