Note: Since the publication of this issue, the School Matters' site has dicontinued working. Instead, you may visit Public School Review.


School Matters, a new website developed by financial giant Standard & Poor’s, allows parents to search for a collection of education data on elementary, middle and high schools by state, school district, and specific school. When searching for a school within a state or district, users can even search by school name, city, county, ZIP code and miles away from the ZIP.
