You can go to School Performance Maps . They colour code a school based on its results on standardized tests. Quiet a nice mash-up. Here's the data for zip code 75209 : http://schoolperformancemaps.com/tx/#32.8486%2C-96.8258%2C12%2C1

How to create a free website for book reviews
I have a school project/ competition where I need to create a website. Everyone in my class got the same task and the best one will receive a price. I'd like to make a website similar to "rotten tomatoes" but with books, and gather reviews from critics and get a rating for the book in %. What's the best, free, way to complete for that task? It needs to have the ability to "search". All help would be appreciated :)

I think the best way to do this for free would be a blog! Try http://wordpress.com/ to sign up for a free blog. You can choose a theme and then start writing your reviews! There's a search function built in to most blogs and people are able to post their comments on each of your blog posts.

Getting reviews from other people isn't going to be easy or fast. (You can't just post other people's reviews, you have to get them to write reviews for you. Posting copied material without permission of the copyright owner is illegal [anything you see on the web is copyrighted].)

Study at the American Graduate School of International Relations and Diplomacy in Paris? Yes or no ?
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any independent reviews from former students. I would really appreciate if someone could help me by describing their experience and whether or not it is a worthwhile school to go to. Thanks a bunch!

Hey, When I was applying to graduate school, American Graduate School of International Relations and Diplomacy in Paris was one of my choices! I am a student from the U.S. and wanted to obtain my Master's Degree abroad, thus choosing this university as a possiblity. They are an accredited university and respected university. In addition to this, you are able to obtian a dual Master's Degree, one for the U.S. and one for Europe, which is a hugh plus. The courses are taught in both English and French and I would recommend it to any student seeking to study in one of the world's greatest cities. I ultimately chose to attend the University of London, simply because of being able to study in Europe's largest city, London. Good luck with school!!

Has opened last year and new..

Best Answer
The Victorian International School of Sharjah — designed by Victorian firm Taylor Oppenheim Architects, run by a Victorian principal Rob Blachford and staffed by a team of Victorian teachers — opens in September. With classes taught in English, the school will cater for both local and expatriate children and will initially take students from kindergarten to year 9 before expanding into year 10 to 12 in 2008. Both the VCE and Victorian Essential Learning Standards will be offered at the coeducational school, which will eventually cater for 2600 students. For Maribyrnong College physical education and health teacher Erin Ripley the chance to work overseas while still teaching a familiar curriculum was an opportunity too good to miss.

What law books should I read to prepare for law school
What law books should I read to prepare for law school?
I would like to prepare for my first year in law school. I am looking to purchase books on torts, contracts, civil procedure, constitutional law, and criminal law. Any recommendations on which books to read? I've heard Gilbert's Law Reviews have good outlines, but is it easy to read and understand? Please advise.

Emanuel's is a good outline - I liked it better than Gilbert's. Examples & Explanations is also good. For class, you should get High Court Case Notes, which are keyed to your textbooks and summarizes each case in the book. You do not need to purchase any books on the above topics until you get your book list though. The books are very expensive and you do not want to get the wrong book. You should take it easy before heading to law school. Maybe read 1L or watch the Paper Chase. But, to begin reading textbooks is not something I would advise you do. You will be doing enough of that when school starts!!!!!

Would my high school grades have any benefit when I enlist in the Air Force?
My orginal plan was to apply and hopefully attend the air force academy in colorado. But after taking my sat's and reviewing my overall high school grades, ive accepted that it will not happen. Insteat, im planning on enlisting in the Air Force and go to college that way. Although not good enough for the academy, my grades are still pretty proficient. I was wondering if good grades in high school would make any difference when I enlist?

There is also the afrotc "scholarship program" and "college program."
