2nd of 9 secondary schools in York we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 685 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.4/10 among them, against 7.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
