Does anyone know of a way to compare schools in different states? I know each state has it's own standardized test but I wish there was a way to compare two different states. I would like to know how a "10" in Florida compares to a "10" in our home state (WA).

the "10" doesn't really mean much...you need to go to the school Accountability Reports, School Report Cards that is the best way to compare although that isnt even a fair comparison...because although a school is rated a certain way some have a better curriculum than others even thought they are all doing the Florida Requirements....I guess that is the difference between schools in General...also please read parent reviews and some of them are a really good tool..If you want to compare you can do what I did I called the schools before visiting them and asked them about the cuirriculum and what math they used and what they were doing in the other subjects as well so I got a good feel of what they were doing and for us they were doing the same work as the kids where we were living as well as our home state....that would probably be your best bet...

Good Luck I tell you it gets very confusing
