State Offers New Tool for Researching Area Schools
Looking to make an informed decision? Access to info such as test scores, demographics and class sizes may help.
Want to compare public schools? The California Department of Education has a new tool to make it easier.
Called the School Quality Snapshot, you just plug in a school name and wait for it to generate a couple-page report that includes all sorts of information, such as academic performance, ethnic make-up, class sizes and more.
It also includes averages for the school district the school's in and for the state. For example, for La Madera Elementary, the report shows that while the school used to have smaller class sizes, the proficiency in English, math and science has increased, particularly in English and math when compared to the rest of the Saddleback Unified School District as a whole.
Happy researching.
