How to choose state primary school ? Interpreting the results ..

[Lottothink]

Hi all

I am trying to understand the SAT results tables. I am comparing some state schools for Richmond.

which result is more important? the % of the pupils meeting the expected standards or % that over achieves . for example, an outstanding school has 60% meeting expectation . this seems low to me. then a good school by Ofsted had over 70% and the same or slightly better % for exceeding expectations (but individual scores are not as good) . should this be a factor?

One of the outstanding schools we are considering has over national average results for progress in reading and maths but writing is lower .

when you look at a school with 90% meeting expectations and 25% outperforming children has the same average score in reading and match say 108 or 107 .

I am totally confused. Anyone who can help how to interpret these?

Thank you

it was a question to Ancienchateau as she asked about the school I mentioned and said she was from Richmond . otherwise my question was in general about results . which one is more important
