WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE HOW YOUR CHILD’S SCHOOL COMPARES WITH OTHERS? 
A Heritage Foundation Web site may be the answer. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Education/ReportCards/top10.cfm  provides access to school rating reports not only for parents seeking information on schools they might want to put their child into, but also for those seeking more information on the school their child already is in.

Compiled by Heritage education analyst Thomas Dawson and researcher Mira Zawadzki, “Report Card Report: America’s Best Web Sites for School Profiles,” is a valuable resource not only for parents, but also educators and lawmakers. The Heritage report card Web site provides links to web sites that provide a range of information on schools in districts across the nation, including academic rankings, test scores, student-teacher ratios, enrollment totals, per-student expenditures, and percentages of special-education students.
