    Schools are given a decile rating of 1 – 10 based on:

    Correct Answer

    The correct answer is the current socio-economic status of the community. Decile ratings for schools are determined based on various factors, including the socio-economic status of the community in which the school is located. This factor helps to assess the level of disadvantage or advantage that students may face in their learning environment. It takes into account factors such as income levels, employment rates, and educational attainment within the community. This information helps to provide a measure of the resources and support that may be needed for students in that particular school.
