Data & methodology

Evaluation method

Ranking Basis

Data Scale: FindingSchool leverages an extensive data set that exceeds that of similar rankings, ensuring accurate and relevant evaluations through well-defined weight distributions and scoring mechanisms.

Weight Distribution: We gathered feedback from thousands of families and consulted over 50 industry experts to create ranking weights tailored to the needs of Asian students.

Scoring Mechanism: Each of the 46 distinct data points is evaluated using unique mathematical models, scoring based on its position within the overall data distribution.

Basis for Ranking: Instead of absolute values, we focus on relative differences in data. There is no fixed score threshold for separating schools; instead, the “admission cutoff” is adjusted annually based on data trends, similar to college entrance exams.

Evaluation Mechanism

The school page currently displays an evaluation card that includes an overall rating and ratings across five key categories, totaling 46 data points. The five categories are: Geographic Community, Academic Strength, Matriculation Level, Extracurricular Activities, and FindingSchool Reviews. Visitors can easily view the overall score and ratings for each dimension (ranging from A+ to C). For boarding schools, detailed total score rankings are also included

The data used for evaluations and rankings comes from three primary sources: official school data, public data, and user-submitted data on FindingSchool.

Scoring Mechanism

The entire scoring system is based on mathematical models derived from statistical analysis of samples from hundreds of schools across various levels. Each data point receives a corresponding rating based on its percentile position within the overall predicted distribution.

  • In the boarding school evaluation:: A- and above account for 45% of the total, B- and above account for 40%, C accounts for 15%.

  • In the day school evaluation: A- and above account for 30% of the total, B- and above account for 51%, C and others account for 19%.

Seton Catholic Central School acknowledges the God-given dignity of each person and its mission of Catholic Christian education.
Catholic Christian values are upheld and taught within the curriculum and permeate the school environment so that each student may grow and become mature and altruistic members of the world community.
This requires the education of the whole person, spiritually, physically, academically, and aesthetically.
It requires the development of knowledge, personal responsibility, and the discipline necessary for living out the true freedom characteristic of America.
Our aim is to develop a generous and loving concern for all people, with deep respect for God-given individual differences; to instill in our students the desire for continuous learning, self-improvement, and self-respect in order to meet the challenges of life; to inspire the student to make a life-long commitment to Gospel values, social justice, non-violence, and peace in our world today.
We encourage our students to be God-centered, strong, upright, wise and articulate men and women who take their rightful place in the Church and in the world.
Seton Catholic is where academic excellence and Christian values meet.
