Review rules
Reviews on SchoolRegistry come from parents and students. A person checks every review before it appears, and these rules apply to everyone, including schools.
1. Who can write a review
A parent, a student or a former student of the school. Staff of a school cannot review their own school, and a school may not ask its staff or friends to write reviews for it.
2. One review each
You can write one review for each school. It must come from your own experience of the school.
3. No payment, no gifts
Nobody is paid, rewarded or given a discount for a review. We do not write or buy reviews, and we do not accept reviews that were paid for by a school or anyone else.
4. Keep it about your experience
Say what happened and what you think. Do not accuse anyone of a crime. Do not name children or individual teachers. Do not put phone numbers, email addresses or home addresses in a review.
5. A person checks every review
Reviews do not appear straight away. A person at SchoolRegistry reads each one and publishes it or rejects it with a reason, usually within 3 working days.
6. Ratings
A school's average rating appears only once it has at least 3 published reviews. Until then we show how many reviews it has.
7. Right of reply
A school that has claimed its profile can post one public reply to each review. A school that has not claimed its profile can write to us and we will pass the reply on.
8. Reporting and removal
Every published review has a Report link. A school or a person named in a review can ask for it to come down. We remove a review that breaks these rules within 3 working days. If the complaint is that a review is untrue and harmful, we hide it while we look into it.
9. Your details
Your review shows your first name and the type of reviewer, or "Anonymous parent" if you choose. We keep your email only to confirm your review and never publish it. Reviewers must be 18 or over, or a parent or guardian writes the review.
10. No pay-to-rank
Schools cannot pay to change a review, a rating or a school's place in our lists. Any paid placement on the site is labelled.
To ask for a review to be removed or to tell us about a problem, use the Report link on the review, or write to hello@schoolregistry.ng. Back to school search.
