Academic and administrative scores are calculated separately using weighted criteria formulas. This ensures fair, accurate representation of each school's strengths and improvement areas in both domains.
We gather data from external exam bodies including WAEC, NECO, IGCSE, and SAT. Academic performance receives significant weight, reflecting the importance of intellectual growth. Metrics include total candidates, average aggregate scores, and yearly performance trends.
Our administrators conduct thorough on-site visits to evaluate facility quality, staff expertise, teaching standards, digital services, anti-bullying measures, leadership, student outcomes, extracurricular activities, community engagement, environment, and location.
Once the scores are determined, we employ a 1 - 5 star rating system to categorize schools:
In addition to numerical assessments, our team of ATS administrators provides expert insights during on-site visits. These reviews complement user-generated feedback, ensuring a well-rounded and comprehensive evaluation.
