Searching for it in google yields just 9 miserable results. So, I am puzzled - is it bad English, or is the opposite true - too good to be widely used?
EDIT
The complete sentence is:
However, having our children attend a good school is also very important to us, so I have been using the School Report Cards by Fraser Institute as a guiding tool in my search for a good public school (unfortunately, we are unable to sustain the tuition fee for a private school).
English is not my native language, so Google is my primary guide to what is widely used and what is not.
