All parents are trying to send their child to a good school. Moreover, the criteria for choosing an educational institution vary significantly. For some, this is a school in which they studied on their own, for others it’s a prestigious lyceum with guards, a swimming pool and in-depth studies of individual subjects, most often a foreign language. To facilitate the selection, a rating of Moscow schools was compiled. Parents will be able to compare educational institutions and draw appropriate conclusions.
School Rankings
Under close attention are all educational institutions of the capital. When compiling the rating, the specialists of the education department do not take into account the school’s material base, the number of sections and circles in the school, the presence of a pool and other characteristics of the school. The rating of Moscow schools (top 300) is based primarily on the results of the educational process at the school. It is not the grades that children receive throughout the year that are taken into account, but the test results in the ninth grade for OEG, in the eleventh in the USE, the results of students at regional and All-Russian Olympiads. In the lower grades, they test the knowledge of children received at school.

Specialists began to compile an annual rating in 2011. Thanks to this, some educational institutions have stepped up their activities. Some managed to significantly increase the level of education for several years. In order to advance in the ranking, it is not necessary to have a large material base. It is enough to properly distribute all the resources in the school and activate the educational process.
Evaluation criteria for the best schools in Moscow
The first step is taken into account the level of knowledge of students in a particular educational institution. The rating, as already mentioned, does not take into account the equipment of the school and the availability of modern elevators. The main criterion is the results of the guys at the exam and the olympiads. Also, the rating of the best Moscow schools is affected by students who are registered with the police or are considered dysfunctional. If the child finds himself in an unpleasant situation, this is the fault of the educational institution.
Additional points in the rating of Moscow schools bring active children. These are the guys who take part in various cultural events of the capital. The comprehensive development of a small personality is of great importance. Additionally, the presence of circles that focus on a profile, or health, sports sections is taken into account.
The rating of educational institutions primarily depends on the director and teachers who put all their efforts into students. The list proves that the best schools are not only in the center of Moscow, but are dispersed throughout the region. For example, the rating of Moscow schools by districts raises the authority of educational institutions in the Southern, Western, and South-Western districts.
The leaders
The rating has led to the fact that some schools have significantly raised their positions in recent years. Every educational institution strives to become the best. However, the list of the top ten does not change compared to previous years. The best educational institutions have several advantages.

On the official website, parents can find a list of the best educational institutions in the capital.
Rewards
Each school strives to get to high positions in the ranking. And this is connected not only with prestige. The educational institutions that are recognized as the best receive cash rewards. Money is allocated from the city budget and can be spent on improving school rooms, purchasing methodological literature or equipment for specialized classes.
Educational institutions that won the first 170 places are rewarded. Part of the amount received from the city goes to teacher bonuses. Such motivation contributes to even greater zeal of teachers. They strive to work efficiently, so that next year the school will again be in the ranking of the best.
Rating of schools in the Moscow region according to the exam results
Each school passes mandatory state exams. It is the results of these tests that the specialists who make up the rating of Moscow schools rely on.
