By accessing The School Advocate (theschooladvocate.com), you agree to these terms. The site provides school performance data and rankings for informational purposes only.
Informational use only
Rankings and statistics on this site are derived from publicly available state department of education records. While we strive for accuracy, we make no warranties regarding completeness or correctness, and data may contain reporting errors from the original government sources. Nothing on this site is professional, legal, or educational advice — verify important details directly with a school or district before making enrollment decisions.
AI-generated summaries
The short “School Overview” and county overview summaries are written with AI, grounded in each school’s published data. They are descriptive aids, not statements of fact about a school’s current programs or community, and may occasionally be imprecise. The underlying scores and rankings always take precedence. See how we rank schools for the full method.
Acceptable use
You may use, quote, and share our rankings and data for personal and editorial purposes with attribution and a link to the site. You may not scrape, bulk-download, or republish substantial portions of the site, misrepresent the rankings, or present our content as your own.
Intellectual property
The site design, ranking methodology, and original content are owned by The School Advocate. Underlying government data remains in the public domain.
Advertising and third-party links
The site may display advertising served by third parties, including Google AdSense. We do not endorse advertised products or services, and rankings are never influenced by advertisers. Links to external sites (school websites, state data portals, advertisers) are provided for convenience; their content and terms are their own. See our privacy policy for how advertising cookies are used.
Limitation of liability
The School Advocate is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on its data.
Changes
We may update these terms at any time. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of any changes.
