About GreatSchools’ ratings system and methodology

As an independent nonprofit, our mission at GreatSchools.org is to help all parents get a great education for their children and for communities to ensure that all students get the support they need to succeed. The definition of “success” is as diverse as the millions of parents who visit our site each year, and we strive to display a variety of indicators of school quality to provide a well-rounded picture of how effectively each school serves its students. We understand that the available information doesn’t always reflect parents’ priorities. That’s why we are constantly working to acquire a broader range of information in order to paint a richer picture of school quality and what it means to provide equitable opportunity for all students.

In 2017, we launched our Summary Rating, which is comprised of themed ratings that each reflect important factors in how students experience school, including how well schools serve students from different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, how much students are improving within a school year, performance on state tests, and how well schools prepare students for college.

In August 2020, we piloted new methodologies in California and Michigan for both the Summary Rating and the Equity Rating to provide a clearer lens to see how schools serve all children. This new methodology was available nationwide as of September, 2020.

Our approach to ratings

We believe that every parent — regardless of their background — needs reliable information in order to understand whether their child is being served by their school. We recognize that how well a school serves students from historically marginalized populations goes beyond test scores. A mounting body of evidence suggests that in comparison to just end-of-year test scores, student progress — or growth — is a more accurate way to measure how much value a school is adding for its students. (Student progress, or growth, measures how much each child learns in a given year, based on the change in their state test scores from one year to the next. ) This information, when used in combination with other information, such as college readiness measures and test score data, can give parents a better understanding of a school’s quality.

With this in mind, we have added student progress and college readiness metrics to our Equity Rating, and we have updated our overall Summary Rating methodology to emphasize student growth relative to test scores. These changes will help uncover the strengths of schools successfully serving Black, Latinx, Native American and low-income students. We believe this is an important step toward providing richer, multifaceted information that is not only based on research, but also reflective of what parents find meaningful.

Summary Rating

The GreatSchools Summary Rating appears at the top of a school’s profile. Our ratings follow a 1-10 scale, where 10 is the highest and 1 is the lowest. Ratings at the lower end of the scale (1-4) signal that the school is “below average,” 5-6 indicate “average,” and 7-10 are “above average. ”

The Summary Rating calculation is based on four ratings, each of which is designed to show different facets of school success: the Student Progress Rating or Academic Progress Rating, College Readiness Rating, Equity Rating, and Test Score Rating. The ratings for each school vary based on data availability or relevance to a school level (for example, high schools have a College Readiness Rating, but elementary schools do not). We do not produce Summary Ratings for schools if we lack sufficient data. For more about how this rating is calculated, see the Summary Rating inputs and weights section below.

Note: Some states do not have sufficient information to generate a Summary Rating. In these states, we default to the school’s Test Score Rating as the overall rating displayed at the top of the profile.

Student Progress Rating

The Student Progress Rating (also known as “growth”) measures whether students at a school are making academic progress over time. Specifically, the Student Progress Rating measures how much progress individual students have made on state standardized assessments during the past year or more and how this performance aligns with expected progress for that student. Each state department of education establishes a student growth model. The Student Progress Rating shows how this school’s average growth data compares to growth data of other schools in the state. The goal of the Student Progress Rating is to provide transparency into schools that are improving student outcomes regardless of the student’s starting point in terms of academic achievement.

Student Progress data is less common for high schools, because in many states high school students only take state standardized tests in one year. It is also important to note that it is possible for schools with already-high-performing students to receive a high Student Progress Rating, or for schools with high test scores to receive a low Student Progress Rating. Research indicates that growth metrics are a more accurate measure of the value that a school adds for its students because they are less correlated with the socioeconomic background of the student population than test score performance. In the Summary Rating, we give more weight to the Student Progress Rating than the Test Score Rating. see the Summary Rating inputs & weights section below for more information about how this rating is calculated.

For more information about how we calculate this rating, see the GreatSchools Ratings methodology report.

Academic Progress Rating

For states that do not provide publicly available growth data (and therefore rule out the potential for a Student Test Score Rating), we calculate an Academic Progress Rating, a proxy rating based on a model using school-level data instead of student-level data. This data is less common for high schools, since in many states high school students only take state standardized tests in one year, making it difficult to look at grade-to-grade improvement. When student growth data does become publicly available in these states, we will replace the Academic Progress Rating with a Student Progress Rating.

For more information about how we calculate this rating, see the GreatSchools Ratings methodology report.

College Readiness Rating

The College Readiness Rating is designed to measure how well high schools prepare their students for success in college and career, compared to other schools in the state. The rating is based on the high school’s graduation rate, data about college entrance exams (SAT/ACT performance) and/or advanced course information, including enrollment in International Baccalaureate courses, dual-enrollment courses, and Advanced Placement (AP) courses and AP exam passing rates. This rating only applies to high schools.

For more information about how we calculate this rating, see the GreatSchools Ratings methodology report.

Equity Rating

The Equity Rating is designed to measure how well a school serves the academic development of disadvantaged student groups. The rating includes data on 1) how disadvantaged students are performing based on student progress (growth) or academic progress (growth proxy), college readiness (e. g., college entrance exam performance and high school graduation rates), and state proficiency tests, in comparison to the outcomes for all students in the state, and 2) performance gaps between disadvantaged students and non-disadvantaged students in a school. We define disadvantaged students as students from racial, ethnic, and/or socioeconomic groups that show persistent gaps across all schools and outcomes within the state. This allows us to understand how well the school is educating disadvantaged student groups compared to all students, and how these students are performing compared to non-disadvantaged students in each school. A low rating (1–4) may indicate some student groups are not getting the support they need at the school, while a high rating (7–10) may indicate that a school’s disadvantaged groups are doing well.

When the population of a student group is too small to provide reliable data (less than 5% of the total student body), that student group is omitted from the calculation. As a result, some groups may not be included in some charts within the equity sections of the school’s profile.

Some schools do not have a large enough population of disadvantaged students to calculate an Equity Rating (homogeneous schools). These schools do not receive an Equity Rating. Their Summary Rating is therefore composed of the other available data.

For more information about how we calculate this rating, see the GreatSchools Ratings methodology report.

Test Score Rating

The Test Score Rating measures schools on academic proficiency, using performance on state tests (the percentage of students scoring at or above proficiency) across grades and subjects, compared to other schools in the state, to produce a 1-10 rating for each school. This school’s overall Test Score Ratings are displayed in the Academics section on school profiles and are broken out by student group (race/ethnicity and family income) in the Equity section. This rating is an important factor in understanding school quality because it helps reflect how well students are meeting academic proficiency standards set by each state.

For more information about how we calculate this rating, see the GreatSchools Ratings methodology report.

Note: we also display discipline and attendance flags to identify schools with worrisome patterns of out-of-school suspensions and chronic student absenteeism. Creating these flags involves two primary steps: identifying schools with high rates of suspension or absenteeism, and identifying schools with significant differences in suspension or chronic absenteeism rates between students from different race/ethnicity groups. If a school has a flag, it appears in a school’s “Equity” section, under “Race/ethnicity” then toggle to view the “Discipline & attendance” information. These flags do not influence any of the themed ratings or the Summary Rating.

Summary Rating inputs and weights

The Summary Rating calculation is based on up to four of the school’s themed ratings (described above), based on available data. For example, college readiness measures like Advanced Placement classes and college entrance exams are available in most high schools but not elementary or middle schools.

To calculate the Summary Rating, we use weights for each themed rating based on the available data, the amount of information available about the school relative to other schools in the state, the amount of variability in the data, and the extent to which each data point has been proven to be related to student success in college and for long-term life outcomes. The maximum weight for each themed rating is capped to be no more than the Student Progress/Academic Progress Rating weight, regardless of its data availability and quality.

Below are representative examples of how a high school or elementary school’s ratings are weighted within the overall Summary Rating calculation for the school:

Inputs to the Summary Rating are school- and state-specific, depending on data availability. Each of the themed ratings that comprise the Summary Rating may be refreshed as new data becomes available, which in turn may cause the school’s Summary Rating to change. These changes may happen at different times throughout the course of a year. To see when underlying data was updated, click on the Sources information for each rating and flag. Note: rounding of percentages may cause some Summary Rating weights to exceed 100%.

Greater data transparency

At GreatSchools.org, we believe that transparency builds trust. We believe that government education agencies have an obligation to make data on school quality available to parents and the public. Every parent should feel informed and empowered to unlock educational opportunities for their child regardless of their family background. That’s why in recent years, GreatSchools.org has expanded data collection efforts in every state to include various types of school quality data broken down by student groups, including students from low-income families, diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, and students with disabilities. These additional data (where available) are now part of GreatSchools.org school profiles and provide a more complete picture of how effectively a school serves all of its students.

Data transparency helps parents know how schools in their community are doing, where there is room for improvement, and what the best options are for their children. Sharing school information — good and bad — also cultivates parent engagement and trust. Additionally, it’s important that school data be made available in accessible, easy-to-use formats so that non-governmental organizations can use the information to inform parents and students about the quality of their local schools.

Our ongoing commitment to offering a broader view of school quality

We are committed to an ongoing evolution of how we can paint a broader picture of school quality that better captures the factors that matter most to parents and that research shows can make a difference in student success. We think the changes we are making to our methodology are a step forward in our ongoing mission to illuminate issues around equity in education. Going forward, we will continue to work in collaboration with research partners and to pursue an expanded definition of school quality that includes information about the resources, opportunities, and practices used in schools, and meaningful outcomes for all students. We will continue to advocate for the quality and types of data needed to help parents understand how schools are doing in their state. Where data is not available, we’ll continue to highlight the need for, and value of, transparency, as we have done for years.

Colorado school ratings: More schools earn low scores

Colorado released school and district ratings Thursday. The state had not released ratings since 2019.

Helen H. Richardson / The Denver Post

Fewer Colorado schools earned top ratings this year — and 31% more earned one of the state’s two lowest ratings — after three years of pandemic-interrupted schooling, according to preliminary ratings released Thursday by the Colorado Department of Education.

Of Colorado’s more than 1,870 schools, 175 earned one of the two lowest ratings, up from 134 schools that had one of the two lowest ratings last year. 

Thirteen school districts also earned one of the two lowest ratings, up from four last year. The 13 districts include three in the metro area: Mapleton, Englewood, and Sheridan.

Low-rated schools and districts qualify for additional financial assistance and advice from state education officials. But repeated low ratings put schools and districts at risk of state intervention if their student test scores don’t improve.

Colorado Education Commissioner Katy Anthes said in a press release that the ratings, known officially as the School Performance Framework reports, mirror the state literacy and math test scores on which they are largely based. Test scores fell during the pandemic.

“The frameworks demonstrate the same thing we saw with our assessment results — that we still have work to do to rebuild following the pandemic,” Anthes said.

What state officials call the accountability clock — a timeline for struggling schools and districts to show improvement or face intervention — has been on hold since state testing was suspended in 2020.

This school year is a transition year, with schools receiving ratings that might serve as a warning but won’t be used to add schools to the clock or move schools further along. Schools that have been on the clock can use a good rating to make a case for getting off, but schools with poor ratings will have another year to improve before facing consequences.

Lawmakers increased school transformation grant funding 50% this year to a total of $6 million and will allow more schools to apply for that funding. Schools also have access to federal COVID relief money they can use for tutoring and other help for students. 

About 17% of schools and 39% of school districts had so little testing data the state did not assign a rating. That’s higher than in years past.

How schools under state orders fared

The State Board of Education can still use this year’s ratings to order new interventions in schools and districts already under improvement orders from the State Board of Education. These schools and districts have had at least five years of low ratings.

Twelve schools and one district, Adams 14 in Commerce City, are already under state orders. The 12 schools include three in Aurora, three in Pueblo, two in Adams 14, two in Denver, one in Monte Vista, and one in Colorado Springs.

The Adams 14 district, which has tested the limits of the state’s accountability system, has had low ratings since 2010, and this year saw a further drop in its rating. Central Elementary, which has its own separate state improvement plan, dropped another level to the lowest this year.

In total, five of the district’s 11 schools earned one of the two lowest ratings. But two Adams 14 schools that previously had low ratings earned an improved rating this year: Rose Hill Elementary and Lestor Arnold, the district’s alternative high school.

Under a new superintendent, district and union leaders last year criticized the state’s accountability system as inequitable. Students in the district face so many challenges outside the classroom, leaders say, that learning takes more time. Teachers have to address hunger, safety, and trauma first. 

Additionally, more than half of Adams 14 students are learning English as a second language, one of the highest percentages in the state. Past administrations faced federal investigations for discriminating against them. 

More recently, leaders have tried to correct that record, including by restoring some bilingual education and describing the students as linguistically gifted. However, those students were also the most likely to suffer under disruptions during COVID shutdowns when schools didn’t offer the normal amount of English language development classes and had to change how they offered support for students. 

In Aurora, Aurora Central High School earned a lower rating this year than in the past. The district recently created an arts magnet program on the same campus that will include a path at Aurora Central for students studying the arts. 

The two other Aurora schools under state orders, Gateway High School and North Middle School, stayed the same, each earning one of the two lowest ratings once again. So did Abraham Lincoln High School in Denver, which is also under state orders.

Only three of the 12 schools with state orders saw their ratings improve: Manual High School in Denver, and Central High and Minnequa Elementary schools in the Pueblo City 60 district. Bill Metz Elementary School in the Monte Vista district earned a high rating for the second year in a row, which means it could request to be removed from the clock.

How ratings are calculated

Each public school in Colorado receives an annual state rating. Student growth, or how much progress students make year over year on state tests compared with peers with previously similar scores, counts more toward the ratings than does how many students scored at grade level. For high schools, data such as graduation and dropout rates also factor into the ratings. 

Colorado last issued ratings in 2019 that were based on state math and literacy tests from that spring. State tests were canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, and limited in 2021. This past spring was the first time since 2019 that students in grades three through 11 took the full battery of tests, known as the Colorado Measures of Academic Success or CMAS.

The 2021 state ratings were based on 2019 state test scores, though schools and districts could request that the state raise their ratings based on other data.

Colorado issues each public school one of four ratings, ranging from performance plan, the highest, followed by improvement plan, priority improvement plan, and turnaround plan, the lowest. School districts receive similar ratings, though the highest performing districts can earn a rating of distinction plan.

Schools and districts rated priority improvement or turnaround are put on a state watchlist and have five years to show improvement.

This year, 54% of Colorado schools earned the highest rating, down from 69% in 2019. Another 17% of schools have the second-highest rating this year, down from 21%.

The percentage of schools with one of the two lowest ratings increased to 9% from 7%.

More than half of schools maintained the same rating from 2021 final ratings to this year’s preliminary ratings. Overall, about 15% of schools’ ratings decreased, while about 10% increased. 

Colorado’s school accountability system is currently undergoing a wide-ranging performance audit ordered by lawmakers. The audit is meant to ask whether the system improves student outcomes, hurts certain student groups, or influences teaching practices in negative ways, among other questions. Results are expected in November.

Public School Rankings by State 2022

Finding the best public school is a priority for many families. A good education is important to these families, who may even choose where they purchase or rent housing to ensure their children are in the best public school systems. There are about 51 million public school students in the United States. While far from perfect, public schools play a vital role in their respective communities. Public schools improve their communities and the welfare of children. Public schools welcome all children, no matter their income level, disability, or previous academic performance. Many schools provide school meals, which helps children from food-insecure families get nutritious food every day. The better the public school, the more likely students will achieve higher educational attainment. While there is no comprehensive way to measure what public schools are the best in the nation, a few surveys look at data, including high school graduation rates and college readiness, to determine which states have the best schools.

States with the Best Public Schools

WalletHub ranked each state’s public schools for “Quality” and “Safety” using 33 relevant metrics. Metrics included high school graduation rate among low-income students, math and reading scores, median SAT and ACT scores, pupil-teach ratio, the share of armed students, number of school shootings between 2000 and June 2020 bullying incidence rate, and more. Based on these metrics, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey have the best public schools in the United States.

1. Massachusetts

Massachusetts has the best public school system in the U.S. 48.8% of Massachusetts’s eligible schools ranked in the top 25% of high school rankings, a total of 167 schools. Massachusetts has the highest math and reading test scores in the U.S. and the second-highest median ACT score of 25.1. Massachusetts also has one of the lowest bullying incidence rates in the country and is considered one of the best states for teachers. Massachusetts is also the most educated state in the country.

2. Connecticut

Connecticut ranks second in the nation for public schools, ranking second for quality and 19th for safety. Connecticut students have the highest median ACT score of 25.5 and have the third-highest reading test scores. Connecticut spends about $18,958 per student, one of the highest per-pupil spendings in the country. Connecticut is also one of the best states for teachers due to having small class sizes and some of the best-paid teachers in the U.S. with an average annual salary of $73,113.

3. New Jersey

New Jersey has the third-best public schools in the United States. New Jersey has the second-lowest dropout rate among states and the third-lowest pupil to teacher ratio. Additionally, students have the third-highest math test scores and the second-highest reading test scores in the nation. New Jersey ranks second for the overall quality of schools and 11th for safety. The state spends about $21,866 per student on average. New Jersey is considered the second-best state for teachers, with the sixth-highest average salary of $69,917 per year.

4. Virginia

Virginia has the fourth-best public schools overall in the United States, ranking fourth for quality and third for safety. Virginia public schools were found to have the fourth-highest math test scores in the country. Virginia schools also have the fourth-lowest bullying incidence rate and have “no significant shortcomings” when assessed for safety from violence, bullying, harassment, and substance use.

5. Vermont

Vermont has the fifth-best public schools in the nation. Vermont ranks eighth for quality, having the lowest pupil to teacher ratio in the country, allowing teachers to give each student extra attention. The average teacher ratio in the U.S. is 16-to-1, while Vermont’s is 10.5-to-1. Vermont also ranks fourth for safety, tied for first with Massachusetts and Oklahoma for having the lowest percentage of threatened/injured high school students.

6. New Hampshire

New Hampshire has the sixth-best public schools in the United States, ranking seventh for quality and sixth for safety. New Hampshire schools have the fourth-highest reading test scores among states and the second-highest median ACT score of 25.1. Additionally, New Hampshire has the fifth-lowest pupil to teacher ratio of about 12-to-1.

7. Minnesota

Minnesota ranks sixth overall for the best public schools. Minnesota ranks sixth for quality. Minnesota students have the second-highest math test scores in the U.S. and are tied with Wisconsin for having the highest median SAT score. Minnesota schools’ median SAT score is 1298. Despite this, there have been concerns over the state’s declining performance for reading and math scores over the last few years. Luckily, graduation rates have increased for all student groups in Minnesota public schools.

8. Wisconsin

Wisconsin has the eighth-best public schools in the U.S. The state ranks fifth for quality, tying with Minnesota for the highest median SAT score. Wisconsin’s pupil-to-teacher ratio is 15:1, lower than the U.S. average.

9.

Delaware

Ranking ninth for public schools in Delaware, which ranks 15 for quality and second for safety. Delaware has the second-lowest bullying incident rate, only second to D.C. The average ACT score is 24.1, higher than the U.S. average, but the pupil-to-teacher ratio is 22:1.

10. Maryland

Finishing the top ten list of best public schools by state is Maryland. Maryland’s average ACT score is 22.3, and its average SAT score is 1058. The pupil-to-teacher in Maryland is 15:1, below the national average.

On the opposite end, the five states with the worst public schools are New Mexico, Louisiana, Arizona, Alaska, and Oklahoma.

Texas school ratings show improvement compared to 2019

This year’s TEA ratings were done differently than in previous years. Instead of the usual A-F ratings, which were last given in 2019, the agency gave only A-C ratings. Districts and schools that would have received a D or F instead received a “Not Rated” label this year.

The Texas Education Agency on Monday released its first public school ratings in three years and despite pandemic interruptions, the number of schools that received the highest rating increased.

This year, 27.9% of 8,451 schools evaluated received an A rating. Another 46.1% received a B, 19. 4% received a rating of C and 6.7% received “Not Rated” labels. Not all schools and districts are rated because some are alternative education programs and treatment facilities.

The state agency’s ratings — tied in large part to results of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR test — are the latest metrics used to grade how well Texas public schools are performing as students emerge from the worst of the global coronavirus pandemic. Even though students returned to classroom instruction last year, surges in COVID-19 infections both last fall and winter forced some schools to close and revert back to remote instruction.

TEA Commissioner Mike Morath credited local educators with the increases seen, despite those interruptions, in each of the A and B categories and a reduction in the number of schools that received below-average grades, those in the “Not Rated” category.

“These results show our state’s significant investment in the post-pandemic academic recovery of Texas public school students is bearing fruit,” Morath said. “I’m grateful for the driving force behind this year’s success: our teachers and local school leaders.”

The TEA’s ratings are determined by scores in three categories: how students perform on the STAAR test, which is given each spring; improvement in those scores; and how well schools are educating disadvantaged students. Students are tested on different subjects: reading, math, science and social students.

Districts also get an overall rating. There are a total of 1,207 school districts in Texas, and 1,195 were evaluated. Out of the districts evaluated, 33.1% got an A, 54% got a B, 9.4% got a C and 3.5% got a “Not Rated” label.

This year’s TEA ratings were done differently than in previous years. Instead of the usual A-F ratings, which were last given in 2019, the agency gave only A-C ratings.

Districts and schools that would have received a D or F instead received a “Not Rated” label this year. Schools that ranked in those bottom tiers will also be spared possible TEA sanctions during the 2022-2023 school year. Families can find their school’s accountability ratings at TXschools.gov.

In 2019, the last time that TEA put out these ratings, 8,302 schools were rated, and 21.1% received an A, 39.5% received a B, 26.1% received a C and 13.3% received failing grades. In 2019, 1,189 districts were rated. Of those, 25.3% received an A, 56.9% received a B, 13% received a C and 4.8% received failing grades.

Texas continues to show some struggle with getting “high-poverty” schools an A grade. Data shows that only 18% of those campuses in Texas were rated an A. The TEA labels schools as “high-poverty” if their number of economically disadvantaged students surpasses 80%. Of the schools that received a “Not Rated” label, over half of them were “high-poverty” schools.

Texas has about 5.4 million students in its public schools, and 60% of them are economically disadvantaged, meaning they qualify for free or reduced lunch. Out of the 8,451 schools rated this year, 564 campuses received the “Not Rated” label. Most of these “Not Rated” campuses — 499 — serve students who live in some of the state’s poorest communities.

While there is work to be done with Texas’ poorer schools, Morath said, the increase among the A-rated schools — a rise seen after the pandemic interrupted classroom instruction — means the state is on the right track to catch students up to pre-pandemic levels.

This spring’s STAAR results showed big gains in reading. While math scores did increase from the dips seen in 2021, they revealed that Texas students still have work to do to catch up to their pre-pandemic test score levels.

State officials say the ratings help parents decide on a school or a district and help hold those districts accountable to parents and taxpayers. Opponents of the system say it harms schools that serve poor communities as they usually get the failing grades and face potential state sanctions such as getting shut down.

Matthew Gutierrez, superintendent of the Seguin Independent School District, received a “Not Rated” label for his district even though more than half of his campuses received a C or above, as his district faltered on other criteria.

Gutierrez believes what hurt his district is that during the pandemic there was a decrease in the number of kids going to college, pursuing technical careers or joining the military. Because of the spread of COVID-19 infections since 2019, the number of students who took the ACT or SAT or attained industry certifications or dual credit decreased, he said.

“I’m really disheartened about the overall district grading,” Gutierrez said. “It’s a very complex, complicated system. I feel like the overall score does not reflect the progress made as a school district.”

The Seguin district also had two middle schools that received “Not Rated” labels, and both of them are majority Hispanic and the number of students who are economically disadvantaged is higher than the state average. But Gutierrez is hopeful that these two campuses will soon improve like his district’s other schools did that have a higher average of low-income students.

“We certainly believe our students have the capacity — we just need the right levels of support,” he said.

What rating schools give children. Student’s view

Rating schools are skeptical (“We know how these ratings are molded”), but still, there is a queue for admission there. A strong school is every parent’s dream. And what about the students? Our blogger, student Alisa Pochevskaya, graduated from just such a school and tells what she can give to a student.

What are “top schools”?

It is believed that these are educational institutions that annually occupy the top lines in the rankings of the best schools in the city and country. As a rule, they have a certain specialization (that is, they are considered strong in certain subjects), as well as traditions. Smart, motivated children from prosperous families, professional teachers who are not indifferent to the success of students, an interesting and eventful school life, and, of course, entering universities on a budget without tutors – this is what is meant when they talk about top schools. But isn’t this a myth?

I studied in such an educational institution for the last five years of my school life (before that I went to a regular school near my house). Of course, I can’t speak on behalf of everyone, but I’ll still try to tell you when it’s worth enrolling in such educational institutions and what you can learn there

In what cases is it worth enrolling in a strong school?

1. If you are bored in a regular school . In my old school, I was incredibly bored five lessons out of six. Actually, apart from the Russian language and literature, I was not interested in anything (and even in these subjects, then there will be huge gaps in knowledge, which I did not even suspect at that time). Fives were given for the slightest effort, homework took no more than an hour a day in all subjects and was elementary. I felt like I was wasting my time. And I also thought that I myself was somehow not like that: there was nothing to talk about with classmates, our interests were strikingly different.

2. If there is a willingness to work. Even getting into a top school is no longer easy. As a rule, for this you need to pass an entrance exam. Personally, I needed classes in a circle at a future school in order to prepare. Getting up early in the morning on weekends and going to study was not easy, the homework was just huge.

I was lucky, I had enough entrance scores to get in. The time before the first of September flew by unnoticed, and now I am already on the threshold of a new life. My acquaintance with her turned out “face on the asphalt”: on the very first test, I, an excellent student, got a three in mathematics and a two in Russian. And this is for the passed material “without frills”. It was a shame for myself and my, it turns out, far from extensive knowledge.

Throughout my first year of study (I then entered the seventh grade), my grades left much to be desired. The assignments were voluminous, the requirements were tough, and the “newcomer discount” ended in three months. Sometimes I sat at the lessons until night. Learning to “learn” was difficult, but very interesting.

3. If there is no fear of competition. These schools select “strong” children, usually with ambitious parents. It is important to be prepared for the fact that there will be more gifted, more prepared (or simply “trained”), more smart. Sometimes it’s hard to realize that you are no longer a high school star and no one will treat you like that. This understanding is especially difficult for parents, so scandals like “my child is not understood and appreciated”, “our bunny is being pushed aside” with trips to the administration and demands to change the teacher are quite possible. However, if the school management is adequate, and the majority of parents are interested in creating a cohesive class, such problems are completely solvable.

4. If you wish to participate in extracurricular activities . Excursions, trips, concerts, charity fairs… Life does not end with studies, you need to be prepared for this. Participation in events, although not mandatory, is highly desirable. Of course, you can always refuse, but I know from my own experience that you will lose a lot. Extracurricular activity allows you to find friends, develop creativity and even stress resistance. During five years of study, I managed to participate in a dozen concerts (as an actor, screenwriter and director), trade at a charity fair, visit theaters and museums, visit different cities, and be a volunteer. It was fun, although I had to find a balance between “organizational activity” and study.

5. If there is an understanding that a strong school is not a panacea . Even top schools have “weak” teachers. It is quite possible that some knowledge will be “not enough”, and the teaching methods of a number of teachers will raise questions. And yes, self-passing exams “without tutors, courses (and SMS)” is nothing more than a myth. Especially if you want to get high scores and enter the budget. In my case, the Russian language was an exception – we were really trained in it to a decent level, the vast majority of them did not need outside help. All other high achievements are largely the result of the work of literary Negroes from education.

But if passing the exam with high scores is not guaranteed, then why do it, what does it give?

Well, at least:

  • The ability to work and enjoy the result, as well as the understanding that you cannot achieve a high result without effort.
  • New knowledge not only in some narrow area, but also simply broadening one’s horizons, becoming the basis of the background.
  • Friends who share hobbies.
  • An interesting, eventful life.
  • Independence both in everyday things (moving around the city, preparing homework), and in determining one’s interests, specialization and future path.
  • Getting rid of “star disease” and “complex of an excellent student”, the ability to adequately assess one’s capabilities, advantages and disadvantages.
  • Passionate about their work, teachers who become not only teachers, but also mentors.

Agree, not so little.

Is it worth it?

It seems to me that the answer to this question should be purely individual. There are many reasons why a strong school may not be suitable, ranging from the inability to “pull” the program and the rhythm of life to the distance from home.

It is very important to calculate all the pros and cons in advance, even before submitting an application. Take into account the opinion of the child (who has long been a teenager with his own ideas about beauty).

In my case, the top school helped to form as a person. It was different: difficult, exciting, sometimes sad and boring, but at the same time fun and cool. Yes, you can prepare for entering a university by going to home schooling or even external studies, and this may be more effective. But such educational institutions are their own little world, which, quite possibly, will become a second home, where you want to return even after graduation.

Thank you very much for reading to the end. If you have any additions or questions, I will be happy to answer them in the comments!

Development of the rating

0014 . This means that the quality of education worthy of the capital must be guaranteed by all schools in the city without exception.

This task is due to the ever-increasing demands of the population
to the results of education and backed by serious resources of the city. Per
the last four years there have been fundamental changes in the strengthening and
development of the material base and financing of educational organizations.

In order to stimulate the improvement of the quality of the work of Moscow schools since 2011 the system of grants of the Mayor of Moscow was introduced. Approaches and criteria for selecting laureates form the basis of the Rating of Moscow Schools.

The annual rating of educational organizations of the capital is compiled on the basis of data on the performance of schools ,
contained in the information systems of the Department of Education of the city
Moscow and therefore does not require additional collection of information. Criteria
rating are annually approved by the Expert Council for the State
program of the city of Moscow for the medium term (2012-2016) “Development
formation of the city of Moscow (“Capital education”)”.

The technical support for the calculation of the rating is carried out by the Center for Pedagogical Excellence of the city of Moscow
according to approved criteria based on learning outcomes
students and pupils: Unified State Examination, OGE, All-Russian and Moscow
Olympiads for schoolchildren, results of city-wide independent
diagnostic work, as well as other results of the work of schools.
It should be noted that the Rating criteria have been developed taking into account the fact that
that none of them should provoke schools to “get rid of
successful students” for a higher position in the ranking.

All rating criteria are divided into several blocks.

Block 1. Indicators of the school’s performance in providing quality mass secondary education.

The results of the State Final Attestation are evaluated:

– For each student who scored at least 220 points in any three subjects on the Unified State Examination , 1 point is awarded.

– For each student who for any three subjects on the exam scored from 190 to 219 points , 0.5 points are awarded.

– For each student who scored at least 12 points in three subjects of the OGE ( according to the 5-point scale recommended by FIPI ), 0.25 points are awarded.

If there are students removed from the USE, the score scored
school according to the results of the exam, multiplied by the coefficient. This coefficient
calculated according to the following formula:


Block 2. Indicators of the effectiveness of the school’s work to create conditions for the development of talents of the maximum number of students.

results of participation in the All-Russian (final and regional stages) and Moscow Olympiads for schoolchildren in subjects are evaluated.

Each student in each subject is counted once per
according to the maximum result. One student is not counted
more than two subjects:

– winner of the Moscow Olympiad or the regional stage of the All-Russian Olympiad – 1 point ,

– winner of the Moscow Olympiad or the regional stage of the All-Russian Olympiad – 3 points ,

– winner of the final stage of the All-Russian Olympiad – 5 points ,

– winner of the final stage of the All-Russian Olympiad – 10 points.

Block 3. Indicators of school performance in ensuring the quality of knowledge, confirmed by external evaluation.

The results of schools are evaluated based on the results of independent subject and meta-subject diagnostics:

– for each subject for each student who has overcome
established threshold in citywide diagnostics based on learning outcomes
in grades 4 and 7 – 0.01 points,

– for each student who has overcome the established threshold in
citywide meta-subject diagnostics in grades 4 and 7 – 0. 01
points.

Block 4. Performance indicators of preschool departments.

It should be noted that this criterion has been modernized. If earlier
The number of children enrolled in the preschool program was taken into account.
school-based education, now the number of preschoolers is important,
transferred at the request of their parents to the first grade of the same school.

For each transfer from the preschool department to the 1st grade of the same educational organization, the school receives – 0.06 points.

As important as learning outcomes for the education system
are other indicators that reflect the work of the school on the development
versatile abilities and talents of children, the formation of their
an adequate attitude towards the world and oneself in this world, as well as the ability
schools to work with children of different categories.

Therefore, the following additional parameters are included in the Rating criteria:

Block 5. Performance indicators of the school’s work on crime prevention.

– for each student in grades 7-11 who did not commit offenses during the school year – 0.001 points,

– for each student in grades 7-11 who
preventive accounting (in agreement with the Governing Council), not
committed offenses during the academic year – 0.005 points,

– for each student in grades 7-11 who is on preventive
registration in the internal affairs bodies, who has not committed offenses within
academic year – 0.1 points.

Each student is counted according to the specified parameters once.

Block 6. Indicators of the effectiveness of the school’s work with students with special educational needs.

Points accrued for children with disabilities (according to the indicators of the Unified State Examination,
olympiads, diagnostics, preschoolers) are multiplied by the coefficient
student funding (2.0 or 3.0).

Taking into account the fact that upon admission, a disabled person must present one USE, for the specified category, instead of:

– 1 point for a set of 220 points in the amount of three USE, 1 point is applied for a set of 73 points for one of the USE,

– 0. 5 points for a set of 190-219 points in total for three USE, 0.5 points for a set of 63 to 72 points for one of the USE,

– 0.25 points for a set of 12 points in total for three subjects OGE, 4 points are applied in one of the subjects of the OGE.

The total rating score of the school is multiplied by a coefficient, depending on the number of disabled children in the institution.

K=1+0.001*(funding ratio for a student with a disability).

Example: there are 10 disabled people in the school (with a funding ratio of 2), one of them became the winner of the regional stage:

– for the winner the school will receive not 3 points, but 6 points,

– the total score of the school will be multiplied by 1.02.

Block 7. Performance indicators of the school’s work on the use of the socio-cultural resources of the city in teaching.

The results of participation of schoolchildren in city Olympiads are taken into account
Museums. Parks. Estates” and “The link between generations will not be interrupted”. The list will
expand every year.

Schools can get their scores multiplied by a factor
depending on the level of performance (in the sum of both
Olympiads):

– high level (at least four diplomas, of which at least two winners) – 1.02,

– good level (at least three diplomas, of which at least one winner) – 1.01,

– the work has just started (the presence of at least one diploma of the prize-winner or winner) – 1.005,

– the results are not shown or are missing – 1.00.

Place in the Rating is determined by calculating the sum of points
schools for the main criteria, for additional criteria and are multiplied by
coefficients of multiplicative criteria (blocks 6 and 7).

Rating score \u003d (score for the Unified State Examination * K beats + score for the OGE +
score for Olympiads + score for diagnostics + score for preschoolers + score for
crime prevention work) X Coefficient for work with
children with disabilities X Coefficient for socio-cultural work.

Schools are ranked in descending order of rating score. In case of equality
points take into account the dynamics compared to the previous year (the higher
dynamics, the higher the school ranks).

The best schools in the UK – ranking of schools in England, prestigious and famous schools

Best schools in the UK – ranking of schools in England, prestigious and famous schools

My name is Tatyana Glitsan. I am an English High School Enrollment Specialist at IQ Consultancy. Since 2007, I have been helping children get into top-rated schools, including Wellington College, Charterhouse, Caterham School and Headington School.

Today I will tell you what criteria are used to rank schools, how to interpret them and how to choose an educational institution.

How to understand ratings

The ratings are compiled by specialized portals, the media and the Ministry of Education. The main ranking criterion is the results of final exams. They talk about the quality of academic preparation. Other indicators can also be taken into account – for example, the career of graduates, technical equipment, the number of subjects, the level of teachers, and others.

One of the most popular sources is the British edition of The Times. The ranking is based on the results of the exams.

In this article, we will look at the ranking of schools with British (GCSE, A-Level) and international (IB) study programs.

  • After graduating from middle school, British students take the GCSE (The General Certificate of Secondary Education) exams.
  • The high school program ends with A-Level exams. The highest score is A *, then – from A to E.
  • As an alternative to the traditional British program, some schools offer the International Baccalaureate program. The maximum score for the exam is 45.

What you need to know about ranking schools

Please note that only those schools that have submitted an application and reported their results to the publication are included in The Times rating. Many educational institutions do not do this, so they are not in the rankings.

For example, in 2019, 75% of students at the private boarding school Moreton Hall School received the highest scores (A * -A) in the GCSE exam. This is a high result, but the school is not in the ranking.

The position in the ranking affects the prestige of the school, and hence the entrance requirements. It is difficult to enter top educational institutions – the competition in them is 20–25 people per place, and preparation takes from 2 to 4 years. For students who are aiming to enter high-ranking schools, we have a special preparation department, British tutors and programs developed on the basis of the curricula of top schools.

Best School Lists 2019 (The Times)

The rating of private schools in the UK according to the results of the GCSE is compiled by the number of students with the highest scores (A * -A or 9-7), for the rating according to the results of the A-Level, the grades A *, A and B were taken into account, and for the IB exam they took data on the average score .

Schools with the same results take one place in the ranking.

What criteria are important when choosing a school

I am often approached by parents who want to enroll their child in a school with the highest rating. But it is important to know that the top position of an educational institution does not guarantee that it will suit a student.

When I select a school for a child, I focus on a large number of criteria. Here is some of them:

  1. Approach to learning. Studying in the best English schools with a complex program and strict discipline can cause serious stress, and poor grades can affect self-esteem. It is important to objectively assess the child’s abilities and choose a school in which he will be comfortable studying.

  2. List of A-Level subjects. Subjects in the upper grades are selected depending on the specialty that the student plans to receive at the university. It is important that at school the necessary disciplines are studied at an advanced level.

  3. Infrastructure. British private schools provide an excellent opportunity to unleash the potential of the child. Therefore, when choosing an educational institution, it is necessary to take into account the interests and abilities of the future student. For example, it could be a school where children train at an Olympic-level stadium, perform on a professional theater stage, or shoot a movie in a real studio.

  4. Living conditions. My colleagues and I regularly visit schools and know how the residences are equipped, what they eat in the canteen, what children do after school. In addition, we personally communicate with curators who monitor discipline and safety. This helps to choose a school in which the child will be comfortable not only to study, but also to live.

Here are three examples of schools from the rankings that have strong advantages and are suitable for different purposes:

  • go to Oxbridge;
  • enroll in top US universities;
  • build a sports career.

How do I select schools for students

At the consultation, I find out the interests and inclinations of the child, discuss with parents their expectations from foreign education, compare the criteria for choosing a school with the current level of the student.

I try to take into account every little thing: for example, whether the climate is suitable, whether the school will be too crowded for the quiet or vice versa, whether it will be convenient for parents to get to school to see the child, and so on.

As a result, I offer up to 5 schools that meet the needs of the family. One or two of the top rankings and up to 3 backup options, so that the child is sure to enter and not miss the school year in England. At the same time, we always prepare for the strongest school on the list.

If you also want your child to study in a British school that will maximize his potential, leave an application below. I will answer all questions and help at all stages of enrollment.
