Picking a school for your kids can be easy or hard. If you’re doing it right, then it should be hard; it should take some research, some number crunching, some question asking.
There are a lot of different schools out there, and choosing the right school for your child requires weighing different factors and needs. One major thing to consider are schools’ statistics, such as population, teacher-to-student ration and demographics. Fortunately, much of this information is compiled by the National Center for Education Statistics. Check here for maps and other statistics regarding the school district(s) you’re looking into.
