I created SchoolSparrow after a frustrating search for a home where a good school was our primary concern. Realtors often don't list the schools that are assigned to a home in the MLS, and as a result the School search filter does not return accurate results. SchoolSparrow fixed this problem, and also layered in performance data so the MLS could be searched by properties that are in high performaning school boundaries.
