NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Niche, a research site that blends millions of community reviews and opinions with hard data, today released the New York City Metro Area's Best High, Middle and Elementary school rankings.

The Niche rankings boast the most holistic evaluation available on both public and private high schools in the New York City metro area, as well as in the U.S. The rankings go beyond state assessment scores and factor in student culture and diversity, educational outcomes, health and safety, and student reviews. Niche's new K-12 site has over 27 million reviews and opinions on K-12 schools from 300,000 students and parents.

"Our new K-12 rankings are designed to help families choose the best educational options available to them and understand what a school is really like," says CEO Luke Skurman. "Choosing a school in New York City can be overwhelming, but our rankings put all the cards on the table. For example, we know the most popular colleges for students at Stuyvesant High School are NYU, Columbia and Cornell. No one else is able to provide that level of insight into a student's future opportunities."
