An important fact to note from the editor:

“Since I am a parent, I feel families send their kids to schools as close to their home as possible, hopefully, within 5 mile radius. That’s why if a school district is pretty large and covers several locations, we include the schools within 5 mile radius from the specific location borders for the analysis. On the other hand, if there is no school district covering a location, we pick the nearest schools. We believe this is what parents would want to do.”
