To help parents in their search for the best school for their child, the Parent Information Center produces a report card on the public schools in Colorado. Since 1995, the staff has spent thousands of hours collecting information about the schools. Using the school's student performance on a national standardized test, a letter grade is assigned to the school. A school's student performance tells us how this school compares to the rest of the nation. Through the web site, you can obtain this information via a school report card .
Performance evaluation is a good starting point for a parent to evaluate a school.
The Parent Information Center web site provides links to charter school and home school information, the Colorado and U.S. Departments of Education, as well as national and international testing results. For those who want to do more research there are links to publications, articles and to other public policy organizations. Some great educational links for adults and kids are also provided. T his web site is here to provide a free service to parents and the general public. For our future, and more importantly our children's future, we must continue to voice the importance of a quality education.
