Current index: 212 of 225 schools carry a published Irtiqaa rating (12 Outstanding, 47 Very Good, 100 Good, 48 Acceptable, 5 Weak); 13 await a first inspection.

Irtiqaa is ADEK’s inspection and evaluation programme for Abu Dhabi private schools. Each published report carries an overall rating on a six-band scale — Outstanding, Very Good, Good, Acceptable, Weak and Very Weak — alongside detailed findings. Ratings stand until a school’s next full inspection, so this page shows both who has a current rating and who is still waiting for a first one.

Every number on this page is computed from our open dataset at generation time — nothing here is hand-typed, and the page regenerates as new reports are published in the current cycle.

Schools awaiting a first rating (13)

These schools are indexed as Not Yet Inspected. Their first published rating — whenever their inspection lands — will be the first independent quality signal parents get.

What happens when reports land

This tracker, the rankings and every rating-driven page regenerate automatically from our data pipeline as ADEK publishes Irtiqaa reports — no waiting for a manual rewrite. Each school’s own page shows its full rating history, so a new rating appears in context, not in isolation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Irtiqaa inspection?

Irtiqaa is the school inspection and evaluation programme run by ADEK, the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge. Inspectors visit each private school and publish a report with an overall rating that parents can use to compare schools.

What is the Irtiqaa rating scale?

Six bands: Outstanding, Very Good, Good, Acceptable, Weak and Very Weak. Schools that have not yet received a published inspection show as Not Yet Inspected on this site.

When is my school inspected next?

ADEK does not publish a per-school schedule in advance. This page and every school page on this site regenerate automatically from our data pipeline as new Irtiqaa reports are published, so the current cycle’s results appear here as they land.
