Good, bad or indifferent?

[loo1965]

Just wondered what people thought of these stats:

52% of all exams were at A* or A at GCSE - 96 students entered
75% of exams were at A level - A*, A or B - 180 students entered

Just reading through some different schools but not sure how these results should be interpreted

Thanks

depends to some extent what the school intake is! vv good for non selective - not so great for superselective..

For comparison - a selective school in our "opt out" area that takes approx the top 35% of a cohort would get results like 75% A*/A and 100% A-C. An upper school in our area would strive for the results you quote - 50-60% A-C is "normal".
