World Book Kids is definitely well created for elementary type projects. I have done subbing in the elementary and have found the information I have found on World Book kids very age appropriate (K-5).
World Book Student would be geared more toward my students (middle school). I have had students use World Book Student before and have found it to be very useful in our research paper we create! I like that the material in World Book student is divided well into useful headings. This would make it very easy for students to find exactly what they are looking for!
World Book Advanced could also be well adapted into my middle school classroom. I teach middle school science and this would be very useful for the multiple research projects my students complete. As a reading teacher, I appreciate the Lexile level of the passage to ensure students are reading text they are capable of understanding. World Book Advanced also offers the option where the text can be read to them if the text is above their reading level. World Book Advanced also breaks it down into headings (similar to World Book Student but it has links this time). Students could also find useful pictures and videos to supplement understanding.

You've identified many of the awesome features in World Book! The lexiles and section headings are great tools. It is useful to be able to print just the part of the article needed.
Other useful resources are the compare places (in World Book Kids and World Book Student) and the World of Animals in World Book Kids. They are a great interactive way to compare animals, countries, states and more.
