This national directory lets users access information about individual public or independent schools, including enrollment information, community profiles, and other data.
In the Classroom
Use this website as a way to wake your students up with a brain teaser at the beginning of every class. Before students come in, access the website on an interactive whiteboard or projector and click on "Grab Bag." Click on "Math Teaser," and leave the site up as students are coming in to the room. Once class starts and students have had a chance to read it, ask for answers and use the question as a way to get discussion rolling. The site only posts one teaser a month, but there is an archive with a wealth of teasers that will allow this application far more than once a month!
At Home
Try this one if you’re thinking of moving, changing school districts, or if you simply need more information about schools in your area.
