KOMU Channel 8 News, the NBC-affiliate in central Missouri, ran a news story on Friday covering the Show-Me Institute’s newest tool for evaluating public school performance in the state.

Although we would have preferred the story to emphasize that our school rankings are based on the state’s own data, rather than our own interpretation, we are pleased nonetheless that Missouri parents now have access to tools for making informed public education decisions.

If you haven’t visited our Show-Me: Living website yet, be sure to check out our new school performance tools (see the banner above), as well as our Missouri tax estimator, which we released last month. And be sure to let us know if you have any questions or comments on how we can make these tools more useful to you.
