School counts: DUO open data (active locations) · Quality verdicts: Inspectie van het Onderwijs, Aug 2026Share of all school locations. The Inspectie mainly gives a school its own verdict when it sees a risk; most schools have none and fall in the middle segment. For secondary schools the weakest programme verdict at that location counts.
