Air quality around schools

[pegkerr]

Enter your child's school's name here to see how toxic the surrounding air is.

Ew. Not good. Delia's school is in the 28th percentile (34,948 of 127,809 schools have worse air) and Fiona's school is in the 17th percentile (21,160 of 127,809 schools have worse air.)

I'm a bit skeptical of the numbers - my old high school and middle school were a full percentage point in difference - but they're literally next door to each other. And they're in the middle of a small town with no industry to speak of for miles, so even 64th and 65th percentile seems high.

I noticed the same thing. The high school and the charter school in my home town are In The Same Building, but the charter school is a full 22 percentage points better. :/

Any large-scale agriculture nearby? Most of the damage from industrial farming is to water rather than air, but it could still play a role.

The difference seems strange, but it could just be that they're right at the cutoff and it's something like 64.49 and 64.51.
