go to www.maricopa.gov, there's a link for the schools and you can search by school or district to see the ratings of the school. Using that is why we moved to the Peoria School District (wanted the westside).

Go to the OSPI website at http://www.k12.wa.us/  then look to the far right, click on school report card.  Depending on what makes a school top in your book, you can decide by the info they give you.  You will find WASL scores, percent of free and reduced lunch kids, population of school, ethnic count, you name it just about.  Remember though, Mercer Island may look great, but those parents may I say may...be extra helpful at home, tutor in the Summer, etc.  Mercer Island has always scored well.  If I sent my kid there would she score well or bring their scores down?????\n\nHave fun on the web site.

Try your state department of education.  This should be public information.

You mean B.S. departments or graduate schools? Graduate schools (educational psychology, educational policy studies, etc) are in US News and World Report. There are likely no specific rankings for B.S. schools ... It's mostly word of mouth. What really only matters is that:\n\n1) You get the degree\n2) The school is decent\n3) You are able to show yourself to be a good teacher, through recommendations and work experience.

The U.S. public school system is horrible.  Grammar and spelling are just the only subjects that show up here.  Outside of N. America, most US children couldn't label a map.

As a former teacher, i can say that the easiest way to get information on public schools is to go to that city's board of education website.\n\nHere is Cleveland's public school system website:\n\nhttp://www.cmsdnet.net/\n\nand here are the listings with phone numbers for all the schools there:\n\nhttp://www.cmsdnet.net/schools/listschools.htm

You can research schools at www.greatschools.net using the city and state. They give everything from test scores to parent reviews. It's a pretty good site.

Maybe the Department of Education website for your state has info.

I would go here. http://www.schoolguides.com/ It is an unsponsored link and will allow you to sort in a lot of other ways too.

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.
