depends what you consider 'accurate enough' it will tell you where your kid is within a 100 foot range more or less, so you will know he is at school but for example you won't know exactly in what classroom because I think GPS technology that it uses just like your phone doesn't allow for that level of accuracy, i guess is what I am trying to say. It does the job for me because I have it set up so it alerts me when he leaves the school area, so it does that well.. but I couldn't set up an alert to tell me when he leaves a certain classroom for example.
