The Milwaukee Public Schools' online Parent Assistant and Student Assistant allows parents/guardians and students to attendance, course grades, and standardized test scores – all available instantaneously. Parents can also update personal and emergency contact information directly online (which is then reviewed and verified by the school). All information is kept private, and each parent must complete a special application to help guarantee security and privacy of their information. For parents with multiple students in MPS, all children can be accessed via one PIN number. Students can use their standard MPS Web login/password. For families who may not have access at home, computers with Internet access are available at public libraries, at school, and many workplaces.
The U.S. Department of Education's College Navigator has been named by Money magazine as "the best
