My wife and I are looking to buy our first home and naturally are concerned about schools for our kids. I was looking at one school and it had a “B+” from Niche but a “4” from GreatSchools which are kind of contradictory? Does anyone have any advice on which sire is better, third options, or are all these sites actualy useless lol?
Niche appears to compare across the country, and greatschools looks to compare with the state. It’s likely that a school that greatschools gives a terrible grade might be top tier elsewhere.
As another said, it’s also impacted by ESL kids (English as a Second Language).

I was looking in New Jersey which ranks pretty high for education nationally, so this makes sense.
