School reports: high schools in Busto Arsizio, examples of excellence in Lombardy

These are days of decision-making for the families of children attending the last year of middle school, who are about to choose their high school. Like every year, the Agnelli Foundation has come to their aid, with “Eduscopio”, a search engine that provides a picture of the performance of state and recognised schools, with classifications for every area of specialisation, depending on whether you want to continue your studies at university, or to work after you have obtained your diploma.

For the former, the classification is made on the basis of the average of marks and the credits obtained during the first year of a university career, and is controlled on the basis of the difficulty of the academic course. For the latter, the index of employment within the first two years after the diploma is considered.

Among the excellent schools, the scientific and classical high schools in Busto Arsizio stand out; with a score of almost 89, the two sections of the Crespi High School, which specialises in classical studies are second only to the Ugo Foscolo High School in Pavia, which has a score of 92. Despite the tougher competition, the scientific Tosi High School is well placed, with a score of 87.

Here is the classification.
