What are school charts?
School rankings are evaluation of schools based on various criteria and carried out to allow people, especially parents, to compare and contrast schools. Because these assessments are included in people in deciding where to live, they are also used by real estate agents. The evaluation may be national or at the state, district or school level.
One could start looking for school charts by going to the Ministry of Education of the United States. This department does not evaluate schools alone, but recommends the Standard & Poors website called Schoolmatters.
Schools on school participants are intended only for public schools. They provide an overview with contact information, map and general school information such as enrollment, students/teachers' ratio, and ethnic makeup, with space for parents and reviews, and photos to add users. Other covered areas are test scores, class profile, information about the preparation for university, financial information of the Demography DistrictOmune. There is also a link to the school website, by e-mail by e-mailing parents from school if someone from volunteers, and the ability to compare up to three schools in the state.
The National Education Center (NCE) offers information based on the state. Its information is based on four areas: students' characteristics, school and districts characteristics, racial/ethnic information and the performance of national assessment of educational progress (NAEP) in mathematics, reading, science and writing.
Two national magazines have high -ranking school charts. The best secondary schools in Newsweek have rankings for public schools based on the ratio of advanced location (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and/or Cambridge tests submitted to all students at school of graduate seniors. Newsweek Web states the first 1300 schools in the country, with other information on the percentage of students at school, kTeuts receive a federally subsidized lunch and the share of seniors who passed at least one AP or IB exam.
u.s. News & World Report provides school evaluation for institutions claiming to be the 100 best US public schools. The areas examined include the performance of students in state tests, the success of school disadvantaged students and offered courses at the university.
However, it is important to remember that the evaluation can be bad or misleading. In November 2007, when u.s. News and World Report gave the school ranking for the 100 best schools, they got mathematics badly. The school listed as number 5 was actually in the TOP 500 of more than 18,000 secondary schools, but not among the top ten. Once the error was recorded, of course there was a pull, but it is a reminder that the ladders are not considered infallible.
