The schools were ranked according to five levels, with 5 being the top level and 1 the lowest:

​

Level 1 *  Beginning efforts at schools that are either getting started or are considering to get started or have difficulties getting off the ground despite a stated commitment or vision

​

 Level 2 **  Emerging  schools starting to translate a stated commitment to positive action in one or more domains

Level 3 ***  Progressing schools demonstrating evidence of results across some impact dimensions

 Level 4 ****  Transforming  schools with a positive impact culture, embedded in governance and systems, with visible results progress in many impact dimensions

Level 5 *****  Pioneering schools with unique, sustaining global leadership progress in all impact dimensions

After much analysis, we opted for a minimum number of 100 valid student responses per school. We deliberately refrain from disclosing the distinction between low-rated schools and those with an insufficient number of responses.
