📍 Regional Representation

Urban schools such as Campion and Wolmer’s Girls perform strongly, suggesting a possible urban advantage in access to resources. Rural schools appear more often in the mid to lower tiers.

🧠 Insights & Implications

  • Top schools perform consistently above 95%, showing strong institutional stability.
  • Schools in the 85–90% range have potential to rise with targeted support.
  • Schools under 80% may need intervention or resource audits.
  • All-girls schools may offer academic environments worth modeling elsewhere.
