Abstract	More than ever, school districts and other organizations need to provide parents with information about school quality and their school choices. Across the country school choice is expanding in ways that provide opportunities--and challenges--for parents to select the schools that best fit their children's needs. The federal Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA) now calls for every school to have a report card that makes data available to families in an "understandable" and "user-friendly" manner. Yet little is currently known about how variations in the ways school information is presented might help or hinder parents as they make choices. Research in fields outside of education provides some hints about how the visual representation, amount, and organization of school information might affect parents' understanding of and satisfaction with the information and their choices. In testing some possible strategies and publishing this guide, the Institute of Education Sciences hopes to make decisions easier for information providers, who develop and distribute school directories, choice websites, and report cards and, ultimately, for parents. This guide illustrates the importance of carefully considering how school information is presented. [For the full report "Presenting School Choice Information to Parents: An Evidence-Based Guide.
