School Safety Records?

I was on the NTSB site trying to find safety/accident records of certain helicopter schools.

Is the only way to do this by searching by state and finding the nearest airport to that school and then stumbling upon the school name in a list of documents?

 

Is there any easier way to see some kind of list of schools ranked in order of safety record?

 

I also wonder if this really matters? In other words is a lot of it "luck of the draw" as opposed to negligence or improper maintenance on the school's part?

 

But I read a thread of a guy listing three possible schools. One of the responses said that one of them had had a number of accidents within the past few years. So I was trying to determine which one it was.

 

Another thing I wonder: when a CFI is involved in an accident due to pilot error, is that guy basically doomed to never be employed?

 

Thanks.

That depends on a lot. Considering most crashes are due to pilot error, and there are lots of pilots out there that have crashed that are still flying, I would say not necessarily. But it certainly won't HELP your career, and at the low time and high competition level of CFI, it may very well be a career killer.
