I.S.I.S.S. Teodosio Rossi is a state upper secondary school in Priverno (province of Latina) uniting a liceo scientifico (including a Cambridge IGCSE track), a liceo linguistico (standard and with an EsaBac section), a liceo artistico, an istituto tecnico for electronics and electrical engineering and an istituto professionale for agriculture and the environment. It became independent in 2000, having previously been a branch of a liceo in Sezze. Since the 2016-2017 school year, after a Cambridge inspection, the scientific liceo has run a Cambridge IGCSE track: some subjects are taught in English on Cambridge International syllabuses. The main language of instruction is Italian. The school has long emphasised foreign languages: language certificates, exchanges and placements abroad, including in the UK, the US and Germany.

About the fees State school (scuola statale): there is no tuition fee and enrolment follows the state procedure. The PTOF mentions a voluntary family contribution (contributo volontario) to extend the educational offer, without an amount. No charge for the Cambridge course or IGCSE exams appears on the pages read or in the PTOF.
Admissions Entry to year 1 is through the state iscrizioni online procedure; the website links to the ministry portal. The website and the PTOF do not describe a separate selection for the Cambridge class. The school does not say directly whether it admits foreign students; the PTOF mentions foreign residents in the area, including people housed in local refugee reception centres, and aims to meet their educational needs.

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: IGCSE (ages 14-16). IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →National programme
The state school programme of the country the school stands in: it is set by that country's ministry of education, which also licenses the school and awards the leaving certificate. That certificate is used for entry to local universities, and abroad it is matched to the local one.
What this means for this school. This entry does not count towards the score, and that is deliberate. Every lawful school in a country works to the national programme, so on its own it tells one school apart from no other - unlike the French, German or Russian programmes, which are carried abroad and confirmed by the register of their organisation. We show it because a parent needs to know what programme their child is taught and what certificate the child will get. Counting it would lift the whole ranking at once and still tell nobody apart.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 8 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
