Our ratings are built from NCES Common Core of Data and measure structural factors: per-pupil expenditure, student-teacher ratio, enrollment stability, and school count.

If you're considering this area, look beyond the overall rating: visit schools, talk to current parents, and research the specific school your child would attend.
