Default comparing schools.

What are good sources to compare schools in different areas? I was looking at the greatschools.net, but found that information highly inaccurate.
The ratings are based on the user input and as result it is highly subjective. The testing scores are state specific. So I cannot really compare NY to NJ schools. Moreover test scores look strange. For example one Jersey city hight school got highest rating (10 out of 10) and 100% passing test score. Sounds quite unrealistic. Especially since most of the people on this forum have low opinion about Jersey city public high schools.
It would be helpful to see solid statistic data about school before basing my decision to by house on this data. Would you recommend any site (paid sites would work as well).
thanks.

For just New York City, Inside Schools is a good choice. I don't know about other areas.
