Couple of things to note:-

1) If academies are meant to be the solution, why are there several in the list?

2) A very high proportion have specialist subject areas, but they cannot select more than a certain percentage(25%?) of pupils who have an ability in that area. So, of course they are going to do badly. This also means that those pupils that do not have an ability in that area are well and truly stuffed. I remember in the 70's being sent to a secondary modern because the grammar school had been reclassified as a comprehensive.
