      • Poor management

        October 3, 2022
        I am a long time resident at Forest Apt. In the past 4-5 years I have seen a decline . Mainly it is the management that has openly stated a disregard for us. We are a non smoking building with some residents still smoking with no consequences. We have a bed bug problem but are told there are no bed bugs. There are other problems that are not addressed, but I won't get into them.

      details
      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.
