Digging in on the Greatschools thing, huh?  People use other measures to judge the schools.  I have absolutely no idea what the rating is for our neighborhood schools, nor did I when I bought my house this summer.  But I still know that the schools are excellent.  I don’t care what Greatschools has to say about them.[/quote]

Looked at a Redfin map or listing lately? You can search by school attendance zone, and those 9s and 10s get a lot more searches than 3s or even 7s. When you do pull up a house, you scroll down, and it lists the by-right attendance schools, along with their rankings. How many people see a low number and reject the house without taking the time to dig into the ranking? Particularly if people are not priced out of higher ranked schools, they will focus their searches based on those ratings. Even if they’re flawed. Even if they’re not very applicable to the searcher’s particular child. [/quote]
