[quote=Anonymous]I don't think there's anywhere you can get a single score that will tell you what you need to know about various schools. There is good information in the greatschools site, but you need to read all of the data they provide on the schools and figure out how it relates to your personal situation. A school might have a mediocre score overall, but does great in some areas that are relevant to you and does poorly in other categories that aren't relevant to you. Or you might have a school that has a great overall score, but that's in part because there simply aren't enough students there who fit your child's profile (e.g., racial minority, low-income or student with a disability) for them even to report how those students do and whether there's a meaningfully difference between their performance and that of the rest of the student body (in which case their great score might be meaningless to you).[/quote]
