Question ID: 56641
I want to identify approximately 200 excellent high schools, both
public and private, in the following metropolitan areas: New York City
(including NYC, Westchester, New Jersey and Connecticut suburbs of
NY), Boston, Philadelphia, Hartford, and Washington DC. Ultimately I
want to identify
high school students who would like to spend a few months or a year
experiencing and working in
another culture and need students who are both motivated to do this
and parents who will think this is a good idea and can afford to send
them.  Academic quality of the school is part of this equation, but so
is the financial demographics of the student body. Eventually, I will
want to
contact people in each school to explain this work/study abroad
program.
For each school, I would like to have basic details (name, address,
phone, email etc), the name of the principal and head guidance
counselor or
equivalent, and some background about the school and its students.  If
there are other metropolitan areas in the east coast the researcher
thinks are promising (Delaware? Baltimore?), these can be included
too.  Different cities may have different quality information; I don't
expect everything to be uniform.

I have been working on your question for the past two hours or so and
have come to the conclusion that getting all of the data you seek will
take roughly an entire week. How much would you pay for a list of
schools with city and state but without the contact or background
information?

Request for Question Clarification by mwalcoff-ga on 20 Aug 2002 16:50 PDT
I have completed the full information for the Connecticut schools, and
I'm calling it a night. If you want the list of all of the schools
plus the full information for the Connecticut schools, please say so.
You may submit a second question (for less money than $200 if you
wish) with "For mwalcoff-ga only" on the subject line requesting that
I give you that information.

If another researcher wants to pick up this question, you should
probably pick up where I left off. Send me a private message in the
Researchers' Forum, and we can make arrangements for you to complete
this question.

BOSTON
======

I found an excellent website, GreatSchools.net, whose purpose is "Your
objective source of school information on elementary, middle and high
schools. A nonprofit organization, GreatSchools.net provides
information about public, private and charter schools in all 50 states
and detailed school profiles for California, Arizona, Texas and
Florida".

Using their school search tool, I narrowed down my search to Boston
Public and Private Schools and came up with the following listing.
Please refer to the link as the web page contains hyperlinks to the
school websites (with contact information) :

PHILADELPHIA
=========

Since the listing from GreatSchools.net for Philadelphia was
considerably larger, I used the "Compare Schools" tool to narrow down
the search to schools of higher quality (as measured by PSSA Reading
score) within Philadelphia County. The top public 21 schools are
listed as follows. Please also view the online results at
http://www.greatschools.net/cgi-bin/msl_confirm/PA?ids=2063%2C2098%2C2094%2C2171%2C2174%2C2170%2C1916%2C2723%2C2156%2C2164%2C2105%2C2111%2C15%2C2144%2C36%2C5202%2C2096%2C5134%2C2095%2C38%2C2070%2C2100%2C13&email=bean.huah@usa.net&x=8&y=16

Request for Answer Clarification by bunnyrab-ga on 22 Aug 2002 06:13 PDT
Thank you for your very thorough answer, which is very helpful.  I
wonder if you could also do the search in the suburbs of Washington,
which I didn't make as explicit as perhaps I should have in the
initial request (that would be Virginia and Maryland).

Many thanks.
