Hi All

Jason just posted this in Naked Data: http://schools.chicagotribune.com/

I was wondering whether this group had any thoughts on this? Would it be
useful in the South African context? I'm not convinced that it would really
help me choose a school for my kids but I'm not sure. Is there anything that
you would improve? Do we have the data to do it?

Regards
Adi
