Niche, a ranking and review site, assesses K-12 schools, colleges, neighborhoods and workplaces across the country to help millions of students and families find and enroll in the right school for them.

Niche's rankings factor in academic and student life data from dozens of public data sets and over 100 million reviews and survey responses. The most important factor was academics, but Niche also looked at culture and diversity, teachers, clubs and activities, sports, and more. More information on Niche's methodology can be found here.
