How do you look up schools' scores in your area?

All this school talk has me thinking.

How do I look up test scores for the last academic year?  Is yours on your local paper's site, school board's site? 

Is GHM around today?  I bet she knows where to find the info for our town.

  • Check the realtors' sites they usually have links for school info.

  • www.greatschools.com
  • I wanted to add that if you just click "test dcores" and then "API Results" you can see how your schools stacks up.
  • The Department of Education for your state should have a report card/stats link too.

    I find it more informative/helpful than great schools.  At least for Indiana and TN.

  • Doesn't grea tschools have the same info.? They provide the overall score then break it down by grade level and subject then subgroups. What is on the report card that is not on greatschools?
  • I just liked the set up of both the Indiana/TN DOE sites better.  I found it easier to navigate/compare.  I'm sure the info is the same, though.

    Both TN and IN had different setups [they weren't the same], so it might just be I didn't like the navigation on great schools.

    I need to find a different school for the kids to go to. The parent reviews are um... well here's one.

    The rest are not much better. The school is rated a 6. The one I wanted them to go to is a 10. I hope there is a way!

  • Ooohhh 6 is pretty low. I'd definitely be looking for an alternative. And that review was very interesting. :oP
