Australian Federal Government launches website comparing all schools

Australia’s Federal Government launched “My School” to compare enrollment, academic performance, number of teachers and attendance ratings.

The website has had a fair amount of controversy, either form bad websites to angry school districts. I believe that Australia took an important step toward disclosing data to parents, one I hope to see mimicked by America.

I’m might also add there are a fair number of other details the school could publish to let parents know the general health of the school district. Some might even put it in a checklist form, like SR did here.
