How the Gera Academic Attainment Index is calculated

The Gera Academic Attainment Index (GAAI) combines two real published DfE measures into one number where the England median local authority scores exactly 100. It is fully reproducible from the same DfE figures shown on this page.

Progress 8 component: 100 + (LA Progress 8 − England-median LA Progress 8) × 25. The England-median LA Progress 8 is −0.05. For York this is 104.5.
Attainment component: (LA grade 4+ E&M rate ÷ England-median LA rate) × 100. The England-median LA rate is 64.9%. For York this is 108.7.
GAAI = the average of the two components, rounded to one decimal place = 106.6.

Above 100 means stronger combined attainment than the median local authority; below 100 means weaker. No figure is modelled or interpolated — only the two medians (computed from the same 152 real LA rows) are constants.
