Hey everyone! 👋 I built SchoolZone.ai because I was frustrated with how existing school rating sites work. Sites like GreatSchools and Niche mostly rank schools by test scores — but research shows 60-70% of test score variance is explained by socioeconomic factors, not school quality. So a school in a wealthy neighborhood gets a 10/10 while a school doing incredible work with fewer resources gets a 3/10. That felt broken. SchoolZone.ai uses a value-added methodology (based on Stanford's SEDA data) to measure what schools actually contribute to student learning, controlling for demographics. We cover 92,000+ public schools across all 50 states. Key features: 🔍 Search by address to find your zoned schools instantly 📊 Fair ratings that separate school quality from neighborhood wealth 🗺️ Interactive maps with district boundaries 🤖 AI-powered school advisor for personalized insights It's 100% free. Would love your feedback!
