I would argue it's not even good at that save for about 15-20 schools, and that's basically because the ranking sites are banking on the staff's at those schools' ability to evaluate talent.  And the danger in those 15-20 schools is the "what if" scenario if they start to tail off as far as success is concerned or have staff turnover.  This was the case with Notre Dame in the early 2000's - their recruiting classes were getting really high grades but weren't developing into a whole hell of a lot, and people started to question whether the kids really were even that good or if they were just not being developed at ND.  There is nothing that anyone can say here that will lead me to believe that the reputations of the schools offering has no impact on star ratings, grades and position rankings, whether it's a 5 star recruit or a NR recruit.  That may be the "policy", but policy does not dictate what the current state is, actions do, and everytime we see a kid jump in the rankings immediately after he gets a big offer, it reinforces the fact that the schools involved weigh in the evaluation and they shouldn't.

Any school that has a majority of recruits that fall into the NR-3 star range - the system is extremely flawed.  And that makes up probably every recruiting class outside of the top 40 in a given year.
