The Positive Impact Rating (PIR) is a rating conducted by students and for students. The purpose of the positive impact rating is to enable learning at and across schools rather than creating a competitive ranking.

Schools are positioned in five different levels, where they are featured alphabetically. Students and the management of each participating school receive free online access to a dashboard featuring their school's results across the different areas compared to the average of all schools. This allows them to actively work towards increasing their positive impact. Students, who have access to the same data, are empowered to collaborate with the school administration.
