What EQI measures

The Equity Index estimates the extent to which a school's students face socio-economic barriers to achievement. It describes the community a school serves — it does not measure school quality, teaching, or student outcomes. A school facing more barriers can be an outstanding school. For independent evaluation, read the school's ERO reports. What EQI means →
