🎓 GreatSchools Scraper

🚀 Export school ratings, demographics, and principal contact info in seconds. Search every school in the U.S. by city, state, level, or type. No API key, no registration, no manual research.

The GreatSchools Scraper exports structured records from GreatSchools.org and returns 47 fields per school, including ratings, test scores, demographics, enrollment, principal contact details, website, phone, and street address. GreatSchools is the most-cited U.S. K-12 rating source, feeding school data into Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, and Trulia listings.

Coverage spans all 50 states plus D.C., with public, charter, and private schools across pre-K, elementary, middle, and high school levels. This Actor makes that data downloadable as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under five minutes. All filters run server-side, so you skip the parser engineering entirely.

📋 What the GreatSchools Scraper does

Two input modes, one clean output:

• 📍 Location search. Enter a city and state (e.g. Orlando, FL) and filter by school level and type.
• 🔗 Direct URL. Paste any GreatSchools.org search or listing URL for custom queries already configured in the browser.
• 🏫 Level filter. Pre-K, elementary, middle, or high school. Combine freely or leave empty for all.
• 🏷️ Type filter. Public, charter, or private. Mix and match across one run.
• 📞 Principal contact. Each record includes principal name, email, phone, and school website when published.

Each school record ships with ratings, test scores, student-teacher ratio, enrollment, racial and income demographics, discipline data, and awards such as the College Success Award and Thrive Award.

💡 Why it matters: school quality is the top factor in U.S. residential property values. Pulling this data by hand means clicking through tens of thousands of profiles. This Actor skips all of that and keeps your dataset fresh on every run.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: collegeEnrollmentData, collegePersistentData, contact_city, contact_facebook, contact_phone, contact_state, contact_street, contact_website, contact_zip, coursesAndPrograms, csaAwardYears, discipline_absences, discipline_suspensions, distance, district_city, district_id, district_name, enrollment_demographics, enrollment_total, equityIndicator, equityRating, gradeLevels, id, latitude, longitude, lowIncome_percentage, lowIncome_performanceLabel, name, nearbySchools, principal, principal_email, raceEthnicity_data, raceEthnicity_summary, rating, rating_scale, remediationData, reviews_averageRating, reviews_totalCount, schoolType, scrapedTimestamp. All 40 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: principal email, phone, and school website are pulled from individual profile pages, so these fields populate only when GreatSchools has published contact information for that specific school. Small private schools often omit these fields.
