Each score is graded separately against Iowa schools. A school can be strong at moving students forward (growth) without having the highest test scores, or the reverse. How we score schools

| Factor | Weight | Score | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| 📚 Achievement (reading & math, grades 3–8) | 75% | 5/100 | 2.6 grade levels below the national average, 2022–25 (Stanford SEDA) |
| 🏫 Resources (class size, funding, size, type) | 25% | 93/100 | Inputs from NCES school and district data |
The overall Repit Score ranks this blend against every rated school in Iowa. Schools are compared within their state because each state sets its own tests and proficiency bar. How we rate schools
