Get the Skinny on Schools with Yahoo!
October 8, 2007
Relocating to a new area? Looking to find a better educational fit for you or yours? Yahoo! has implemented a wonderful database by getting together with GreatSchools.net in order to bring the most extensive and comparative look at schools in any particular area.
By using Yahoo!’s Real Estate search function, you can search using school name, zip code, or location name to look at the statistics for the schools in that area. GreatSchools.net will then give you all the information you could possibly need for any specific school and all the schools in the nearby region. Stats include everything from enrollment, attendance, average test scores to teacher experience levels and credentials.
The site also offers user submitted reviews from parents and even an introduction from the school’s principal. You can compare schools in the area, and Yahoo!’s map feature will let you know exactly how far you’ll have to go to each.
This is a useful tool if you’re looking for a new opportunity and need to know the skinny before you arrive, or even if you just want to keep up with the Joneses in your area. –JEREMY S. GRIFFIN
