How do you find out the quality of a school or school district online?

If you want to find quick answers on how schools are performing in your future district, you have several options.  First you can check your states department of education website for a school by school breakdown of testing results.  There is also a national website, run by the NCLB act, that can give you information on testing results.  \n\nBut remember, these are only testing results based on one test.  A better indication of the quality of schools might be found by looking at class sizes and graduation rates.  \n\nGood luck with your move!

Best, according to what....? It depends where you live or what you are looking for.\nBy the way, even in the same district they may be huge differences between schools.

Call them and ask or go to the Unified School District's website and check their states if posted.

I recommend sitting in on classes. Just because schools have high scores does NOT mean they are good schools. Infact, it is easy to manipulate that type of data. Actually drop by (unannounced) and see what the reaction is. Does the school welcome you? Do they ask for identification? They should....otherwise your children won't be safe there. Do they let you sit in on classes that day or do they make you schedule an appointment. If you must schedule an appointment ditch that school!!! It means they want to show you something that doesn't exist in every classroom. Talk to the teachers who work there. Go to PTA meetings and see what they're talking about.

Go to your old school and ask for a transcript. Grades are not posted anywhere online for privacy reasons.

http://www.greatschools.net/ is good.\nThey show test scores, passing rates, number of students, etc.\n\nIf you're looking for your school website, add parantheses to your school and Yahoo!/Google it.\n\nEx: "North Gwinnett High School"\n\nThis searches that exact phrase rather than any random combination of those.

Private schools belong to their own school assocation.  It should be listed in the phone book.  Contact them and ask for a list of the schools in your area, then contact the schools for a visit.  Either the association or the schools themselves will be able to provide information about academic programs, test scores, etc.  No matter how good a school looks on paper, you really don't know if you like it or not until you visit.

I'm not aware of any that does a state by state comparison.  If you do a search for teacher salaries in each state you are intererted in you should get the  information.  I've noticed that some of it is done county by county - are they different from county to county?\n\nI've atached one website that compares salaries in 8 states.  Sorry I couldn't be more help.
