NeighborhoodScout.com, the search engine of neighborhood information, reported today that the number of visitors to the site more than doubled in the last 60 days. In March the site served 228,283 unique visitors and more than 1.2 million page views, up from 111,362 visitors in January, and 166,005 in February.

Much of the increased interest in the site has been due to NeighborhoodScout's new nationally comparable school ratings data. For the first time, these data allow parents, teachers and others to openly compare the quality of individual schools in different states.
