Many Realtors® are familiar with the online school ratings systems, but those systems may not provide significant data and the process can lack transparency. Are there other resources that we can provide to our clients, so they can make an informed decision about schools?

 

Fortunately, the Commonwealth of Virginia and many local counties have resources for clients who are researching school districts. The most comprehensive resource in Virginia is likely the State Department of Education’s School Quality Profile. This can be found at schoolquality.virginia.gov. The Profile contains many data points and measures year-over-year changes to give a thorough profile of each school.

Realtors® should never decide which schools are the best for their clients. If a client is interested in learning about schools, there is a wealth of information available so that the clients can make informed decisions.
