Clara Hemphill has revolutionized the research of schools. It used to be the norm for a family to enroll their kid into the public school that they lived in. They may also move to another location in order to enroll their children into a school of their choice. Clara Hemphill is the founder of www.insideschools. org. This is an interactive websites that parents/guardians can go to research potential schools. The New York Times states, "The Website’s school profiles detail test scores, of course, but they also describe the culture of each school, giving prospective families insights on teaching styles, homework, and discipline. There are also policy papers, parent alerts, and nuts-and-bolts guides to school admissions, testing, and other education essentials. InsideSchools.org doesn’t pull punches; you’re as apt to read about barren science labs at a given school as you are to read about a great principal."
This is a new and innovative tool that gives parents the luxury of hearing first hand facts and reviews on the schools that their kids will be enrolling into. With all of the recent cut backs on education funding this website has become a useful place. Clara Hemphill has brought technology to the forefront when searching for quality educational institutions.
