Website shows Maine graduation rates

The Associated Press

BANGOR — A conservative think tank has unveiled an updated education website to include test score and graduation rate data for every school district in Maine.

The Maine Heritage Policy Center created its education website, GreatSchoolsForME.org, earlier this year. The site showed spending and performance data for every Maine school and district.

At a news conference today in Bangor, the center presented the site's latest application.

The center's Stephen Bowen says the new data being added includes standardized test score data for every Maine school district, graduation rate data for every high school, and tools to compare schools and districts to each other.
