THE best and worst performing state schools in Watford and Three Rivers based on GCSE results have been revealed.
Figures released by the Department for Education show how well the area's schools did in the exams taken in the summer.
This is the second year schools have been ranked using the Attainment 8 grading system after major changes were made to how exams are assessed.
Attainment 8 is an average score across eight subjects taken at GCSE, which includes English and maths. The higher the score, the better.
The average Attainment 8 score was 46.4.
The new system also rates schools on the progress pupils make between Year 6 and when they take their GCSEs. This is called Progress 8.
