Wife and I are trying to narrow our housing search. I'm looking for a good public school ratings resource.
TIA

City data. Just look at the area's average income and % by race.

We're going to be buying in Mandeville. I know Pontchartrain and Tchefuncte are both good schools, mostly just wanting to see if the west side of 190 has good elementary and middle school options as well.

Basically just do a drive by at recess and see how many white kids are at the school
Sad but thats how it is

Is the greatschools website still around? It rated all the high shools across the country.
But let me spell it out for you quite easily:
Look for "% of free / reduced lunches for the students"
you can virtually nail down the top schools using solely this statistic.

I think the majority it not all of the schools in Mandeville are all pretty good. We are also looking at moving to Mandeville but would send the kids to one of the two catholic schools.

The private schools in Mandeville are very good, I'm a product of them, they have just gotten so expensive it doesn't seem worth it when we have really good public schools.

On Zillow, each listing will show the elementary, middle, and high school of the property, along with a 1-10 rating. *This rating is bullshite* but.... click school link and it will take you to a page that shows the test scores and how those test scores rate against the state averages, and also gives you poverty and racial breakdown. Raw numbers.
The overall rating I said was bs is because they give extra credit to poorer schools, ie racism of low expectations.
Example, a school in 10th percentile poverty but 60th percentile in scores will get a very high 1-10 rating.

Walkscore has great information on a variety of topics. Unsure if schools are on it but I would expect it.

I would agree but Typoqueen wants the kids to go to catholic school. One benefit I guess is that it allows us to live whereever we want in the city and not worry about school districts.

If you want the best high school, you’re gonna have to move to the dirty ’dell.
Northshore High cranks out more National Merit kids than any other non-magnet public school in the state. Regularly top 5 or 6 in the state, smoking most of the top private schools as well.

New site posted by the LDOE. About as up to date and accurate as you'll find.

That's a very helpful site. I think it's funny how schools get higher grades for minority and economically challenged students.
