History
GreatSchools was founded in 1998 as a school directory and parenting resource in Santa Clara County, with seed funding from New Schools Venture Fund. The next four years (1999–2002), the school ratings expanded statewide in California. In 2003, the main school guide resource expanded nationwide. In 2008–2011 was the launch of College Bound Program, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Robertson Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation. In 2013 GreatSchools received a three-year grant from the Walton Family Foundation. 2013 saw Zillow integrate GreatSchools information such as school search, school ratings and reviews into their real estate database. 2014 included an expanded partnership with Maponics.
