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 a scale of 1 (below average) 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 family needs as part of the school selection process.

Euphoria
"To reside in a place of euphoria" reads the sign posted on the side of this three story, nine unit building. I ascended the old, clearly weathered stairs for the first time during the summer of 2014. I was skeptical to say the least. Everything in my price range I had looked at up to that point was subpar. This was the last stop on the list, Echo. Highland Park, a historic district near downtown Birmingham, Alabama is a beautiful area, and my sites were set on finding the right place to live there. The building may have looked older. A bit of rust covered the long metal support beams as we entered the first door to the right on the bottom floor. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into a fairly spacious living area: nice, hard, dark brown laminate floors, a low ceiling, and a long eight-foot bar that I knew would be perfect for two bar stools. It was the only place I had looked at that day with a kitchen that was open to the living room. A small hallway that lead to a bathroom at the end and a bedroom on the right were just beyond the kitchen. The carpet was thick and soft. There were two closets. One pantry. Central air conditioning. I walked through the back door to find a private parking lot. Another door two feet away hid a very convenient public washer and dryer, closest to the apartment I would be living in. To say I was sold at that point would not have been true. It was the best place I had seen in my price range, however, so I went for it. It was a great step, finding my first apartment on my own, a week before starting my career in a city I had never been. It was nerve-racking. I did not know what to expect. Fourteen months later I am the happiest I have ever been. When I have had a problem, Dwell Properties has taken care of it in a timely manner. Who would have known that two $7 plastic chairs on a small walkway covered by an awning, up on a hill with a slight glimpse of the city would change my life forever? I have come to realize enjoying where you live is not about the size of an apartment or the age of it. Residing in a place of euphoria comes with what you make of it.
