Many rely on online school ratings (like GreatSchools.org), but host Doug Varenas, a licensed realtor, reveals why these systems are deeply flawed and often inaccurate.
Hear a real client story about what makes a “good” school, and discover why focusing on test scores alone can lead to the wrong decision for your family.
Why common school ratings are deceiving. The overlooked factors that actually matter for your child’s success.
How to do your OWN due diligence (beyond what your average agent tells you!). Real-life examples of “low-rated” schools that are truly exceptional.
Ready to find a home in a community that genuinely fits your family’s unique needs?
