Hello--

Just to clarify. Are you looking for these elementary and middle
schools to be ranked based on math and reading test scores, and the
high schools to be ranked based on graduation rates?

Thanks,

darrel-ga

high schools should be ranked on math, reading and Percentage of grads.
all lower grade schools just math and reading.
Thanks

Hello xfin-ga,

I have all the information you require, except for kindergartens, and
except for Percentage of Graduates (high schools). Will you still
accept this as an answer? The information comes from a reputable
source that ranks the schools on reading and math scores and other
factors. Do let me know and I will be more than pleased to post the
answer. Have a great day.

Ok I take your answer. The percent of grads I could probably find the
State dept of ED.
Thanks

xfin-ga,

Oops, my mistake. The site I found lists what I mentioned above, but
does not have high school scores in listing format. It does have it in
individual profiles, though. Unfortunately it would be too much work
to go through them all for these scores. Also the site enables you to
look up schools and rank them by distance from your address. OK, I am
giving the answer away as a freebie because you'll have to look it up
yourself :

GreatSchools.net : Your free online guide to K-12 schools
http://www.greatschools.net

Alternatively another researcher can take over and compile this list
for you.

Cheers,

kyrie26-ga

Hi Kyrie26,
I been to greatschools.net long time ago. It does not give me a global

Thanks.
