The new GreatSchools Finder mobile app declared for the iPhone has been developed for parents, realtors, and educators to find information regarding various schools for their children. It provides ratings and reviews for about 1, 25,000 K-12 private and public schools in the U.S.
Developed by WillowTree Apps, this app allows users quick access to information of varied schools. It offers users quality rating and aggregates community reviews from parents, students and teachers. Through this app, users can save schools to their personalized list and share a particular school with friends via texting email.
“With more Americans using mobile apps to access vital information, it was a natural progression for us. Whether you’re a parent, realtor, or teacher, the GreatSchools Finder serves up the most advanced and up-to-date information on schools today,” commented Bill Jackson, CEO and President of GreatSchools, a national non-profit that reaches one-in-three American families with school age children every year.
The app is not only useful for guardians of children but is also beneficial to real estate agents. This is because knowledge of the location of good schools is one of the top three things realtors should have when selling a home. It’s a common belief in the real estate field that districts with renowned and good schools give a boost to property values.
Apparently almost half of the families in the U.S. with children in grades K-12 shift homes every five years. The company thus believes that realtors also need to keep school information handy and this app is apt for them as well.
The GreatSchools Finder mobile app can be downloaded for free from the App Store.
