Methodology
The purpose of this site is to organize official school-review data and make it easier to search and compare — not to issue a new judgement on school quality.
Source of grades
Displayed grades come from government and private school review datasets published by the Education & Training Quality Authority (BQA) through Bahrain’s open-data portal and BQA website. We do not alter the official grade.
How trend is calculated
| Grade | Internal comparison value |
|---|---|
| Outstanding | 1 |
| Good | 2 |
| Satisfactory | 3 |
| Inadequate | 4 |
If the newest comparable value is numerically lower than the previous one, we label it “Improving”; higher is “Declining”; equal is “Stable”. Special follow-up statuses such as In Progress are not treated as 1–4 grades.
What trend does not mean
Improving does not mean “best for your child”, and Declining does not mean a school is unsuitable. Reviews can also have different dates and cycles.
Why we do not publish a generic “best schools” ranking
School choice depends on factors this product does not measure, including curriculum, fees, location and individual needs. We show what the official review data says and clearly separate our own derived analysis.
Updates
The site attempts to load the official datasets directly and uses a small verified recent-result fallback if the official feed is temporarily unavailable. Source status is shown in the interface.
