What the badges mean
Badges are earned from published evidence, never bought. They are recomputed whenever a school’s evidence is re-verified, so a badge can come and go.
Honor Roll
Christian School Compass Honor Roll: a Faith score of 85 or higher (grade A), with all four faith pillars rated and none below 70 (grade B).
Our highest honor. It goes to Christian colleges whose Christian life is excellent across the board.

Compass Recommended

Honor Roll colleges meet this standard too.

For schools: show your badge
A school on the Honor Roll or Compass Recommended can add its badge to its own website. Open the school’s page here and choose “Badge and embed code”, or start from the Honor Roll. The badge links back to the school’s page, so visitors can see the evidence.
Questions about a rating? Schools can post an official response or ask for a correction.
