Good news for parents: Microsoft’s Bing now lets you see how a school ranks nationally in the US

If a school’s national ranking is one of the key criteria you have in mind when selecting a school for your kids, Microsoft’s Bing is making it easier for you.

The search engine now shows school ratings, rankings and academic indicators directly in Snapshot. This means that when you search for a particular school in the US — from elementary to high school to higher education — you get to see how they fare nationally, within the state and what their STEM rating might be. It even shows the rating of the community around the school and famous alumnus.
