How this is computed

ERO review not in our dataset

We don't yet have a parsed ERO composite for Mt Hobson Academy, so the ERO axis below uses the national-average ERO score (75/100) as a placeholder. The composite shown above incorporates that estimate. When we ingest a real ERO review for this school, the score will refresh and may move materially in either direction.

If you've spotted a recent ERO report we've missed, let us know — every flagged report gets re-ingested on the next refresh.
