Only one of the interested schools meets the national rate for the achievement of grade 5 or above in English; and only two of them meet the national rate for the achievement of grade 4 or above.

The range for grade 5 or above is from 2.7% to -32.3%; the range for grade 4 or above is from 6.6% to -34.4%. In the four interested schools, the difference between the progress of disadvantaged students and the national rate for non-disadvantaged students is in a range from -0.06 to -1.41.
