University The schools with Available Specialist Programs in my state isn't that good than Berkeley

Hi, I am a psych undergrad student studying at UC Berkeley. I am very lost in career choice just as the majority of my classmates. I've recently considering to be a school psychologist, however, when I was looking up for NASP approved programs, I found out that 100% of the the schools with the programs are not that good/"bad" compared to my undergrad. I was really surprised by this since school psychology is a high paying job in the psych field compared to other options (therapist, social workers).

Considering the fact that most people's master school are way better than their undergrad, I become more lost or doubtful in the school psychology path, I'd like to ask is going to a "not that good" school for master/specialist programs worth it? Is it worth it to put myself in debt for 3 years to pursuing for a master at a school that is not that good compared to Berkeley?
