re: Does school rankings matter for elementary and middle vs high school?

IMO it's all about peer groups
I'd rather my kids be with mediocre teachers and curriculum in an old, bland established elementary school fed by involved, wholesome (preferably conservative/traditional minded) families than an elementary school being fed by something else even if they're pumping big money and the best teachers into it.
ETA: Elementary schools are smaller and it's easier to assess in my opinion. You want a neighborhood elementary school fed by a strong, established neighborhood if going public. Middle and HS are when it gets harder to gauge because you're typically pulling from a bigger footprint.

Agree. Reading to your kids early and often will set them up for early success.

Yes, it matters.
Your kids will model behavior of fellow students be it good or bad.
Burnout teachers often make for less than ideal students.

Good feedback. The elementary school is the lowest rated of the 3 so slightly concerned. I used to teach one at Bryan elementary and thought it was mostly lack of support at home and wasn’t sure how it translates.
