“The
right school will
not only help your child learn
essential skills but instill a lifelong
love of learning," says Carol
Lloyd, award-winning
educational writer and editorial
director for GreatSchools, a
nonprot school guide. "Bottom
line: The school you choose for
your child does make a difference."
Lloyd knows making educational
decisions isn't easy. That's why she
offers her advice on the most
important things to consider when
researching schools.
Testing scores: How does the school
perform on state assessments
across grades and subjects? Look
at the percentage of students who
score at or above prociency. If
possible, look at test scores by
student subgroup (race/ethnicity
and family income). How are
students like your child doing?
