Abstract
A method and system is provided to directly compare school districts and individual schools across state lines, and the geographic areas served by those schools (counties, municipalities, zip codes, neighborhoods) based on their reported standardized test scores despite the fact that each state has prepared their own version of standardized tests to benchmark the performance of their students. While standardized tests, such as the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) test, can provide a meaningful comparison between any students and schools that were administered the same test, since the tests are different state-to-state a comparison on this basis is generally inaccurate and unreliable. To normalize the local standardized test results based on the differences in tests in different localities, an additional factor is employed as a modifier of the NCLB test results resulting in a normalized comparison.
