1. Show empty state by default on home page
- Don't fetch or display schools until user searches
- Show helpful message prompting users to search
- Only fetch schools when search params are present
2. Change distance search to miles
- Display 0.5, 1, and 2 mile options instead of km
- Convert miles to km when sending to API (backend expects km)
- Convert km back to miles for display in location banner
- Maintains backend compatibility while improving UX
3. Fix metric labels in rankings dropdown
- Backend returns 'name' and 'type' fields
- Frontend expects 'label' and 'format' fields
- Added transformation in fetchMetrics to map fields
- Dropdown now shows proper labels like "RWM Combined %"
instead of technical codes like "rwm_expected_pct"
