School Rating
Explore school excellence through QS I-GAUGE Rating
QS I-GAUGE School Rating uses a comprehensive framework to highlight a school's strengths and unique attributes. The assessment evaluates schools across seven core and two advanced criteria, providing a holistic understanding of their performance. Based on the results, schools are awarded overall and category-specific badges, ranging from Bronze to Platinum+. These badges serve as a mark of school excellence, enabling students, parents, peers, partners, and other stakeholders to make well-informed decisions.

QS I-GAUGE School Rating process
We use a robust model to evaluate schools based on key metrics. Our comprehensive approach to rating results in valuable insights for students, parents, educators, and other stakeholders, aiding in well-informed decision-making.
Process Initiation
A dedicated Research Analyst initiates the process by conducting a detailed orientation session with the assigned Point of Contact (POC) from the school. This orientation ensures clarity on data requirements and establishes a seamless communication channel for acquiring necessary information.
Data Collection
The assessment process involves two key data sources: survey data collected from students, faculty, and parents and self-reported data submitted by the school in a standardized format. The data is securely stored in cloud storage, maintaining strict confidentiality throughout and after the assessment.
Data and Evidence Evaluation
Our Research Analyst maintains regular communication with the school's Point of Contact (POC) to clarify and gather additional evidence as necessary. Upon completion, the assessment undergoes rigorous quality checks conducted by QS I-GAUGE peer reviewers and the QS Intelligence Unit in London, ensuring its accuracy and reliability.
School Rating
Following the assessment, the school receives a detailed scorecard that highlights its key strengths and areas for improvement. The school will be awarded a certificate, an overall rating badge, and category-wise badges. Results are published on the QS I-GAUGE website to assist students, parents, and other stakeholders in making informed decisions.
