Web site lets you compare Michigan high schools' success

Lori Higgins:

The state will launch a Web site Monday that will eventually provide parents -- and everyone else -- a way to gauge how well individual high schools prepare their graduates for college.

By the end of September, the site, www.mischooldata.org , will include first-ever information on how many students from each school go to college, how many earn at least a year's worth of college credit within two years of graduation, and how many have to take remedial courses in college.

The information could be used by parents and the public to rate high schools and for administrators to improve curricula.
