THE DATABASE

Rankings

Only schools that have answered appear here. A school that's missing either hasn't replied yet or is still being researched — that's not the same as a bad rating. Each category is scored 0–5, but categories have different weights based on how directly they affect a student's safety, daily life, healthcare, and ability to get help. When a category does not apply to a school, it is marked N/A and excluded; the remaining category weights are normalized to 100 rather than treating N/A as zero. The final weighted score is out of 100.

Why the score is weighted: Housing, healthcare, campus protections, and accountability count more than lower-impact categories because a missing restroom or club is not equivalent to a lack of safe housing or access to care. See the full weights in the methodology.

State and city climate scores come from MAP's LGBTQ Policy Tracker and the HRC Municipal Equality Index. They are shown as context and never change a school's own band.
