We are currently planning to buy a house in Ontario, Canada. One of our criteria is, of course, location. It has to be closed to a good school. Although we don’t have kids yet; we are planning to have ones in the near future. It would be nice to have a house near a good school; so that our kids can just walk to their schools.
After doing some research, we found a good web site that provides school rankings in US and Canada, called CompareSchoolRankings.org. Unfortunately, not all states and provinces are available. For Canada, it provides rankings for schools in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario provinces. It’s good enough for us since we are based in Ontario.
There are a couple of things we can do on CompareSchoolRankings.org. The most obvious one is displaying school ranking in our areas. For example, the following table shows the school rankings in Greater Toronto area.
We can also display a map displaying schools in certain areas. It has legend showing which schools are good (green color) and which ones are not that good (red color).
