Well, there's nothing obvious that I see, but I think that to be safest in
trusting your diagnostic test, you ought also to do the same trim in the IF
as you did in the switch. I know it seems like it shouldn't matter, but
compare apples to apples.
And are you saying that you really have these values, or are they stuff you
typed in for demo purposes here? The difference could be important.
Finally, if you run the following code, do you get foobar or good?
<cfset area="Blah Blah">
<cfswitch expression="#Trim(Area)#">
<cfcase value="Blah Blah" >
Foobar
</cfcase>
...
<cfdefaultcase>
#Area#<br>
<cfif getSchools.Area EQ "Blah Blah">
good
<cfelse>
bad
</cfif>
</cfdefaultcase>
</cfswitch>
I get foobar, but again it makes sense to run this simple test yourself. If
you get foobar, too, then try to work it into your code to see what differs
between the above and what you have.

Anyone spot what's wrong here? The value being passed to <cfswitch> is
'Blah Blah' (names changed to protect the innocent), but it doesn't get
picked up by the <cfcase>. Other cfcases for different values all work
fine. The <cfif> returns 'good', so there is a string match. I've even
tried dumping the ascii values of every character in the string in case
there were any hidden high ascii values or something, but that's not the
case.
<cfswitch expression="#Trim(getSchools.Area)#">
<cfcase value="Blah Blah">
Foobar
</cfcase>
...
<cfdefaultcase>
#getSchools.Area#<br>
<cfif getSchools.Area EQ "Blah Blah">
good
<cfelse>
bad
</cfif>
</cfdefaultcase>
</cfswitch>
