This detailed report provides a fascinating snapshot of internet use in U.S. primary and secondary schools. Among the findings: almost all schools are connected to the internet, the majority with a T1 or better connection. About three quarters of schools have a website, but only half allow parents or students to communicate with the school through the website. Virtually all schools use some sort of content filtering software. Three quarters of schools use some form of Windows; the rest use a Mac OS. A minority of schools loan laptops to students. Most schools allow computer access outside school hours, but almost none offer access on weekends.
