how does Niche rate schools? doesn't it rely a lot on surveys?[/quote]

Niche is more credible than GS. It isn't just a simple average of standardized test scores.[/quote]

I'm not sure I agree as I think both systems are flawed. I like how NIche's data sources are more comprehensive but I'm on the fence about the use of surveys. The rating is basically dependent on the subjective answers of respondents. That's where it gets tricky.[/quote]

The surveys are not the only factor. I posted the full list of data sources above.[/quote]

I know there are other data sources but I don't think the surveys should be used at all.[/quote]

You know tons of rankings sites use surveys, right, including US News?[/quote]
