Well, believe it or not, evaluating SES along with knowing what extra curricular activities (chess club, Odyssey of the Mind, FLEX programs, scouts, etc.) are offered and what neighborhood amenities in terms of sports, dance, tutoring, music teachers, etc. are available, you will come really close in assessing the schools (if not spot on).  I would sort of be interested in just a study of how many Music and Arts stores are close to highly ranked schools (that could be interesting).  Lots of kids take lessons there.  Not to mention looking up how many people have graduated from college in a certain zip code (yep, that information is out there as well).  It's truly amazing.  These things correlate.

When I was a kid I do recall thinking that my individual school was good---but it was good.  The data from that area is showing it to be one of the best in the state.  It always has been.  [b]People know these things based on what they see[/b] (and people who care get involved).  Just how it is.
