School league table for the netherlands

Hello everyone,
Does such a thing exist? Was sure I found one the other day (a PDF published by Elsevier for 2014?), but can't for the life of me find the darn thing anymore.
We could soon have the unenviable task of finding schools for our 4 girls (7, 10, 11 and 15) and I can't say I'm relishing it!

There are the Cito results but not a league table as such, in any case I would not rely on Cito results only. If on Facebook look for the Dutch Education Group, there are some experts and tonnes of expat parents that can share experience. They can especially help if you are looking at the international schools.

This is a website for all things Dutch for expats. Lots of info.

Thanks for the suggestion Katiepoes, I'll take a look. We're obviously most worried about ensuring our 15 year old DD gets her needs met as she's on the finishing straight, so to speak. Hoping to ease the others into Dutch schools (DH is a Dutch national, just hasn't lived there since aged 7!). Just trying to get my head around the equivalent A-level scores for IB and VWO, but I think I've worked out you need 36+ or 8/8.5 minimum to match typical uni offers (UK) of AAA/AAB.
British school looks nice, shame about the fees! Still, I noticed someone at Almere got 43/45, so I imagine (as with all countries) it's more about the pupil's ability than the school, when all is said and done. :-)
Have had a good look on the expatica forum, Iflyaway, but didn't think it seemed very active. However, unless I ask a question I guess I'm not going to get an answer. ;-)
