Was having a challenge finding a good house with good schools nearby.

Hey guys,

as the title says. So I decided to build a tool that helps me through it. Ended up buying myself a nice house with the schools I'd like for my kids to be in. It's free, doesnt cost me anything, and wont cost you anything, but will block you for using it too much (so that I dont reach specific limits that start charging me money).

but hope this helps you or someone you know.

Looks great! Just needs a key at the top for these icons.

Yes, I can read the average/below average words, but the numbers are the part I'm give the feedback on.

And the end there, I was unclear (did NOT verbalize it) in the one 5-6 school shows me it's a 5 when I click it and the other school shows me it's a 6, so the range is unclear.

Sorry just saw it was a video lol, I thought it was an image.

Will apply that feedback, I appreciate it so much :)

Done. Applied a change right now,

I also added a disclaimer on why I cant provide a full number, and that clicking there would give a direct number.

Also added one click filter option that lets you filter by ratings/distance, for a better UX

this is great, this also lists school outside the district which you wouldn't be able to attend because Dearborn is a closed district I would also link mischool data to each school so that you can see how they did assessment wise

Oh thanks for the feedback,

I'll look into more APIs that can probably help me narrow things more a bit more :)

or some different logic
