Web sites for Schools information

These are some of my favorite web sites for school information

 School Digger

  • Wealth of information for families with school-age children (test scores, ethnic information, student/teacher ratios and other metrics).
  • Schools are ranked by a number of criteria, which enables parents to compare and contrast the nearby schools, locally as well as on a state level.
  • Can search for the schools within a certain distance of a particular address.

Great Schools

  • Popular site that can help compare schools as well as to find schools in specific communities
  • Both private and public schools are listed at all grade levels
  • Includes information regarding getting prepared for college, tutoring and homework help, and much more.

National Center for Education Statistics

  • Click on the "School, College, & Library Search" tab at the top in order to view data including a particular school's student-to-teacher ratio or enrollment by race and ethnicity.
  • A national database of school demographic information

School Matters

  • A useful site for researching schools and comparing them
  • You can also read reviews by parents about the schools, and if you wish, write a review about your child's school.

  • You can view performance, spending and demographic information for any state,
  • Check out links to state education departments, to investigate individual schools and more.
