    August 3, 2025
    I have not enjoyed my time here so far, with it being a new apartment complex there is a decent amount of issues. From maintenance issues to the WiFi being inconsistent. The WiFi is bulk WiFi which cost more than fiber and is not consistent. Parking so far seems to be the biggest issue. There are no spots. Not really sure what the plan was as there are less than 50 spots total and the first floor has 51 rooms!

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.
