Best sites for DFW elementary school rankings and reviews? (Dallas: college, money)

[Mavsfan2011]

Are there any good sites I’m missing outside of k12niche, schooldigger, and greatschools?

I know all rankings of this type have some inherent flaws, but I’m just trying to gather as much info as possible, and want to be sure I’m at least aware of the available sources out there for this.

I’m not trying to debate which schools are better, but just which sites are out there that do rankings.

Thanks!

If you want to gather as much info as possible, search this forum. Really. School strengths and weaknesses have been discussed thoroughly. I don't trust any of those ranking sites.

You need to figure out what you want in a school. Do you want ethnic diversity or not. Do you want economic diversity or not. Do want a large school or a small school. Do you want a school that is academically vigorous or not. Do you want to prepare your child for a large college or a small college or a trade school? Look at SAT scores. Look at the number of NMSFs. What is important to you and your child?

Dallas magnet high schools are some of the best in the country, if you can get your child in. Highland Park is right behind them, but you need money to reside in the district. West Plano doesn't rate high on any of the ranking sites because they include three schools in their student body count (the 11/12 grade senior high and their two 9/10 feeder schools) but they have more NMSFs than any other school in the area.
