    The Verve apartments are a great place to live. The apartments themselves are sleek, modern, and have a great view of downtown. They provide a fitness room, social events once a week, a game room, and a TV room. The indoor parking is a plus. The walls are thick, which makes it a quiet place to live.

School data provided by GreatSchools.
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.
