  • Unsafe and poor management

    February 6, 2016
    I once saw homeless people sleeping in the stair way. The call box has been broken for years and the laundry broke almost every month. The staff is indifferent and rude about those issues. And the rent goes up by more than 10% every year, totally unworthy.

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.
