Plus, unlike any other resource, The Comparative Guide to American Elementary & Secondary Schools provides important ranking tables, both by state and nationally, for each data element.

These important comparative statistics are necessary for anyone considering relocation or doing comparative research on their own district and would be a perfect acquisition for any public library or school district library.Comparative Guide to American Elementary and Secondary Schools 2004/05, 3 was published 2004 under ISBN 9781592370474 and ISBN 1592370470.
