Without knowing the progress the students made, ie their GCSE grade, you can't just look at results.

Also we can't see how many dropped out after AS.

wouldn't there be statistics about how many dropped after A2?

The schools tend to say "of course most of our students stay on after GCSE" so maybe the progress data would be worth looking at, assuming that's true

though the reputation of these is that they don't cull much

I wondered about what the teaching was like, facilities, relevant trips, that sort of thing.
