Search engine of good educational sites, with ratings and grade levels.
However, this is a fairly small database.
StudyWeb

were hard to guess at the relevance. But the next level produced
good descriptions of sites with ratings and approximate grade level provided.

were found.
Ask Jeeves for Kids
http://www.ajkids.com/
Ask a question in plain English instead of using key words.
AJ will tell you what questions he does have answers for that might be
similar to yours. Only "G-rated" Web pages and Web pages written specifically
for children are included in this knowledge base. Note: One
annoying feature is that when you go to a suggested site, the location
at the top of the page is still listed as AJKids.com. In order to
get the correct address for citation purposes, you need to hold down the
mouse button (right button on Windows machine) on a blank area of the page.
This will bring up a menu that allows you to open a "new window with this
frame." (Note some older browser versions do not have this function.)
The new frame will list the correct location of that page. At the
bottom of the original search results from AJ, you will find that several
major search engines have also been searched with the protection of Surf
Watch, but not with any filter for educational or child relevance.
SuperSnooper
http://www.supersnooper.com/
A search engine with built in filters that screen-out pornographic,
violent and hate-related sites. Sites are not filtered for educational
relevancy.
