Which schools and neighborhoods deserve a closer look?
Tell us the constraints that can change the answer. School evidence, housing, commute, and enrollment stay separate so you can see the tradeoffs.
Trust the score enough to share it
Official data, visible methodology, no hidden verdict
Scores come from NCES and state education departments with the source trail kept next to every claim. Weights are level-specific and equity is shown as context, never folded into the number. Missing data is flagged, never penalized.
Latest assessment data: 2024-25 school year.
