My wife and I are looking to buy our first home and naturally are concerned about schools for our kids. I was looking at one school and it had a "B+" from Niche but a "4" from GreatSchools which are kind of contradictory? Does anyone have any advice on which sire is better, third options, or are all these sites actualy useless lol?
