- Product Description
- SchoolFinder is a next generation, innovative tool designed to help parents research thousands of public and private schools. Whether parents are moving to a new home, evaluating school performance, or sending a child off to school for the first time, Education.com’s SchoolFinder is a powerful resource. In addition to test scores, SchoolFinder offers student and community demographics, district boundaries, local services, and community features such as parent feedback, and after school offerings.
- Market Opportunity
- Each month several million parents search online for information about school data, and tens of millions more use offline resources to get updates on a specific school’s performance. SchoolFinder is a next-generation take on existing tools that builds upon the plethora of information and expertise available on Education.com to empower parents.
- DEMO Says
- It might be easy to dismiss Education.com as yet another parenting site and it would be easy enough to justify the company’s debut at DEMO for the quality of content and its laser focus on empowering learning and achievement in children. Education.com is a beautiful and valuable site. But we also found another interesting layer in this site’s model: the use of Web analytics to drive content development, effectively letting the community drive the highquality coverage in a manner that leverages the editorial talent in the business.

That was an amazing demo. Although not a WOW in technology, it was certainly a WOW to me as a parent. If their resource is as good as it sounded, I am there. I am so there. I have 3 children. Maybe this can finally save me time and effort while finding real people who can identify with my issues.
