Does a city page show every school that serves that city?

No. It groups records whose directory address lists that city. School district and attendance-zone boundaries do not necessarily match city limits.

Are Featured Schools rankings?

No. Featured profiles are selected to make useful school records easier to discover. America EDU does not present this section as a ranking.

Where does the school data come from?

Profiles are built primarily from federal education datasets, including NCES school-directory sources. Individual profiles show source and data-year information when available.
