The powerful statistical and analytical appartus behind Standard and Poor's has been applied to school performance. The website www.schoolmatters.com is a treasure trove of data about schools across the country. The data is presented by state, school district, and individual school. It provides basic demographic and economic data for each district, performance on standardized tests, graduation rates, etc. You can select up to four schools to run comparative reports. This is a wonderful resource for those researching schools for classroom or personal use.
