TrueSchools Ratings
School ratings are based on state standardized test scores and comparing those results to other schools in the same state. TrueSchools ratings range from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest school rating and 1 being the lowest. Ratings are meant to give an overview of a school's performance in the most recent state standardized tests TrueSchools has records for.
Each school's rating is determined by comparing it's test scores to those of other schools in the same state. Composite scores are determined by combining a school's results for each test and grade and weighting scores by the number of students taking each test. Tests taken by fewer than 10 students are not calculated in the composite score.
Private Schools & Schools Without Ratings
Private schools do not have ratings because private schools are not obligated to report their test scores to the public. Some public schools may not have ratings because either the school did not report its results, the results were incomplete or there was not enough data available to calculate an accurate rating.
Other Criteria to Consider
Keep in mind ratings are solely based on a school's performance on its state's standardized tests. Ratings do not take into account other important factors you should consider when evaluating a school. Such factors include class sizes and student-teacher ratios, the quality of teachers and amount of personal attention given to each student, school programs and extracurricular activities provided, amount of funding a school receives and how much is spent per student and other available resources. These are among a few of the qualities to consider when choosing a school to send your child to.
