Users want a tool that provides a more nuanced evaluation of school districts beyond just standardized test scores, helping families make informed decisions about home purchases based on educational quality.
looking at houses right now and found one we really like but the elementary school nearby shows a 3/10 rating online. got two little ones who will be starting school in a few years so this has me second guessing everything did some digging and turns out the low scores are mostly because they have tons of kids whose families speak other languages at home which apparently tanks these standardized test rankings. met with some people from the district office and they showed me programs and stuff i had no idea existed starting to think these online ratings might not tell the whole story but still feels risky to ignore them completely when making such a big decision. anyone else deal with this kind of situation before
