[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No smart home buyer consults Great Schools -- it's not a reliable arbiter of school quality at all. None of those sites really are. No one takes Great Schools seriously.

Most home buyers start with Greatschools and go on from there. [/quote]

Horse shit. A few gullible ones do. But not "most."[/quote]

are you more horse, or more shit, to ignore one of the most obvious and objective markers of school quality?[/quote]

It doesn't really show quality - more like SES level. But maybe that does mean quality to you...[/quote]

Lady, what it shows it academic scores. Not more, not less. True, those are correlated to a number of numbers, including SES, resources, teacher experience, parent involvement...but don't get confused. I don't care about SES -- I do care about the academic environment my kid may be joining, and GS scores are a great starting point (not an end point).

I understand some people believe in fairies...well, best luck![/quote]
