(MS) - Success in school can have a trickle-down effect into all areas of life. A solid education provides the foundation for a worthwhile career and can help mold a child into a secure and happy adult. Part of helping a student achieve high marks in school is finding a school that is a right fit for him or her. Today, many families base real estate and other decisions around neighborhoods that boast top schools in an effort to provide an edge for their children. However, every school district would like you to believe that their schools are the top in the nation, but this just isn't always the case.
In 1998 former teacher Bill Jackson founded Great Schools to catalyze a force that he believed was vital to the process of achieving excellence in education - parent involvement. His Web site, www.greatschools.net, receives 25 million visitors each year and helps to improve K-12 education by informing parents and helping them to make solid decisions about their children's education.
GreatSchools.net helps parents choose the best school by providing comprehensive profiles for more than 120,000 schools nationwide. Other parent-friendly features include exclusive ratings, powerful search and compare tools, and helpful advice. Web site visitors can post comments about a school from first-hand experience and even read notes from the school's principal. For those who want more information, the site provides test score breakdowns in the top subjects and even demographic information about students. Also browse through informative articles on the K-12 education process and tips for success.
