At Africa Top Schools (ATS), transparency is at the core of our mission. We believe in providing a clear understanding of how schools are evaluated to empower stakeholders with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about education. Our comprehensive rating system combines rigorous analysis and expert assessments to ensure a holistic view of each institution.
The numerical scores from academic performance and administrative quality are calculated separately using a formula that incorporates the weighted criteria. This ensures a fair and accurate representation of a school's strengths and areas for improvement in both academic and administrative realms.
We meticulously gather data from various external exam bodies, including WAEC, NECO, IGSCE, SAT, among others. The academic performance component is assigned significant weight, reflecting the importance of a school's success in nurturing intellectual growth. This includes data such as Total Candidates, Average Aggregate, and Yearly Performance.
Our team of ATS administrators conducts thorough on-site visits to schools, evaluating various aspects of school administration. The administrative quality component encompasses facility quality, staff quality, teaching quality, web-based services, anti-bullying efforts, leadership, student outcomes, co-curricular activities, community involvement, environment, location, and an overall administrative score.
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.
Our commitment to transparency and expertise ensures that our rating system is a valuable resource for parents, students, educators, and policymakers. By understanding how we rate schools, you can confidently navigate the educational landscape and contribute to the collective effort of enhancing education in Africa.
