The quality of a city’s schools have an outsized impact on its economy. No other factor contributes more to home value than the caliber of the school system. So how do you know which schools are best? Word of mouth? Zillow ranking?
One option is TeachSimple‘s method, which combines reviews from parents and students, statistics compiled by the U.S. Department of Education, and information reported by the schools themselves.
