This article from Las Provincias examines the thirty most sought-after schools in Valencia, Spain, focusing on both public and private (concerted) institutions. The analysis considers data from the 2023 and 2024 school admissions, assessing factors like occupancy rates in various grade levels (particularly in Infant education) and overall capacity.
The ranking is based on an estimation of occupancy rates, specifically focusing on the absence of vacancies in the second and third years of Infant education (ages 4-6) and the lack of vacancies across six years of Primary education. Public schools with only two-year units are treated as exceptions.
The list highlights a significant presence of Catholic-oriented concerted schools. Of the top thirty, twenty-one are concerted schools, while the remaining nine are public. The article notes that private schools are excluded from the analysis due to their non-inclusion in the public admission process. The data suggest that while the overall availability of spots is roughly balanced between public and concerted schools, two-thirds of the available places in the second and third years of Infant education are in public schools.
The article lists the top thirty schools, categorized as either concerted or public. The top five concerted schools are listed first; these are notable for their large size with three lines each. Several public schools also made the list, eleven of which had no vacancies in any level.
