    November 1, 2017
    I just moved here. These apartments are beautiful, but they are VERY cheaply constructed. They cut so many corners. The floors are thin strips of laminate. They are already peeling up at multiple spots. The walls are paper thin, so you can literally hear your next door neighbors sneeze, cough, talk on the phone, flush the toilet. You can hear people talking in the hall even with the bedroom door and the barn door closed. These aren't particularly rowdy people; these are just people talking at a ...
    normal volume. Speaking of the barn door, they are NOT hung level so they don't actually stay shut. The "garage" parking is actually a parking lot. It isn't secure. Also the intercoms or power outlets inside of vanity drawers don't exist

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.
