How the ranking works

Schools are scored on profile completeness (address, description, contact info, photos), page views and leads. Paid plans never change the score, so the order stays fair.

School profiles in this ranking are built from NCES Common Core of Data (EDGE / CCD) for the 2024-2025 school year. Each school’s score combines profile completeness with real signals such as page views and parent engagement; official data itself is never influenced by paid placement.
