Earlier this month, the California Department of Education unveiled a snazzy tool for parents and the general public to see how schools are making progress. It's called the "School Quality Snapshot" and it gathers about five years of data that helps paint a complex picture of how schools are doing.
You can see all kinds of results in the charts: passing rate for the California High School Exit Exam, graduation rate, fitness levels, proficiency in math and English, and more.
You can easily access the snapshot by clicking here and then typing in the name of your school.
Enjoy!

Carmel High ranked among the best highs schools in the U.S.
Carmel High School was listed among this year’s top public high schools in the United States in separate reports by Newsweek and US News & World Report magazines.
Carmel High ranks 256 by Newsweek and 288 by US News, placing it in the top one percent of all high schools in the country.
“We are proud to be recognized in these two reports," said Superintendent Marvin Biasotti in a statement. "They are a validation of the school’s work in recent years to broaden the college-going culture of Carmel High School, which is driven by our belief that all students deserve the option of a college or university education."
To evaluate the top high schools, Newsweek used the following criteria, according to their web site:
· Four-year, on-time graduation rate (25 percent)
· Percent of 2011 graduates accepted to college (25 percent)
· AB/IB/AICE tests per student (25percent)
· Average SAT and/or ACT score (10 percent)
· Average AP/IB/ AICE exam score (10 percent)
· AP/IB/AICE courses offered per student (5 percent)
US News & World Report used a three-step process to determine the best schools. According to their web site, “The first two steps ensured that the schools serve all of their students well, using performance on state proficiency tests as the benchmarks. For those schools that made it past the first two steps, a third step assessed the degree to which schools prepare students for college-level work.”

Best of the best
For the third year in a row, Carmel High was ranked among the 1,600 best high schools in the United States by Newsweek magazine. The rankings are based on the total number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or Cambridge (AICE) tests given at a school each year and divide by the number of seniors graduating in May or June. For this year's rankings, the magazine used the 2009 numbers.
