  • Good value, pleasant experience

    January 3, 2015
    This is a 50 year old building, with the usual dents and dings. However, it is well maintained and surprisingly clean. Pros: Reasonable rent Free heat Quiet tenants Near to grocery store Friendly maintenance man and he is quick to respond to concerns Cons: Street noise can be loud Small kitchen Overall, this apartment building is a good value and was a pleasant experience. I would still be living there if I did not have to move out of state.

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.
