What ADEC says
Al Raha has just become the first all through school to be rated Outstanding (A1) in Abu Dhabi. The core subjects at the school score highly across the board with the exception of mathematics at High School level where they remain Acceptable.
From its report: "For the relatively small cohort of Grade 12 students, results in the Diploma Programme (DP) are good or better in most subjects with 60% attaining Level 5 and above in English, Arabic, the sciences and languages. In mathematics, attainment is acceptable. Nearly three out of every four students score sufficiently well to earn an IB Diploma. In the previous year, nearly all of the 71 students who left at the end of Grade 12 were awarded a place at university. Of these 7% gained places at universities within the Gulf region and 83% at universities outside the Gulf region."
