How the ranking works

Each school gets a score out of 100. Every factor you care about scores the school from 0 to 1 on a published figure, and counts in proportion to how much you said it matters. The points under each school add up to its score.

A figure we do not hold counts at the middle, 0.5, and the school's reasons say so. Ties go to the nearer school. Special schools and colleges are not listed.
