If you and your family are looking for a house, there’s a good chance you're also looking for a school district.  Here are the two best sites to see if schools in areas you're interested in pass the test.

The first site is brought to you by the Ohio Department of Education. Use the Department's Interactive Local Report Card to see what kind of grade each school district in the state has received.

The second site, SchoolMatters.com, a service of Standard & Poor's, gives you the ultimate way to compare schools from state to state, and within each state, all across the nation. By district and school, it gives you test scores and student-teacher ratios, while also comparing community income, education levels and median home values with state averages.
