You can research it on www.greatschools.net. You will want to look at the staff to child ratios and the API index. Low staff:child ratios mean that your child will get more individualized attention, and the API index will tell you how well the school is doing as compared to other schools on testing. Each year, the school has to try to beat it's last score in order to keep proving that they are improving the standards and in order to get funding for the next year from the No Child Left Behind Act. Of course, there are teachers at every school who are stars, but the better a school is all around, the better off your child will be.

They have websites, someone all ready posted one of them, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

forget the ratings- it's the teacher, not the school.
