Organizing the Portland Public School system data

I grew so frustrated hunting through the Portland Public School system for tidbits of information related to different schools that I started my own Portland Schools Project site that organizes the information in a more appropriate way.  What is really needed is a database backed site that contains all relevant data for all schools in one database. A user could then come in, select a number of schools to compare, and view that information in a table for side by side comparison. It should also be possible to search by given criteria ("Show me all the schools within a 20 minute commute of my address that also have 85% of students exceeding the 3rd grade achievement scores".) That's my long term goal, but I have a few other projects to finish first.
