How is My School Doing? Similar School Rankings

Do you want to see how your school compares to other schools with similar demographics?

The first place to look is the similar school rankings provided by the State of California. The naysayers in the crowd complain about this site, so I'll provide another source that has more details.

Just for the Kids California

This website is very comprehensive. Input the school district on the first page, click "go" and you will receive a list of schools in the district. Click on your preferred school and you will be taken to another page where you can select the test subject and grade level (you can even look at past years). Click on "select chart"

The next page will offer up variables based on ethnicity, etc. You can just accept the given data or change some of the variables. The given data is based on the school you have selected (it will make sense when you see it). Select display chart and you will see the results along with comparisons of other schools.

If you click on a chart you will see the actual data for the comparison schools along with their demographic breakdown. It's a great feature.
