Education
We are actively working to get more data on education. At Factual, we're beginning to build a rich repository of educational data that will serve as a helpful resource for parents, educators and students alike, and we anticipate it will become even richer as more users participate and contribute to the data. Feel free to help by uploading new datasets, and let us know so that we can update this page.

Data in Action
Newsweek's America's Best High Schools 2010This year, Factual partnered with Newsweek on its annual "America's Best High Schools" initiative to enhance and host its list, and create a more comprehensive high school database. The partnership was a great success, and the resulting database is now part of the ecosystem of education data at Factual that can be used by app and website developers in different and innovative ways, using our APIs.
