We've checked the candidate sites using the latest versions of the axe-core accessibility engine and the W3C Validator on up to 100 pages from each site. 
 
Based on these checks we've applied a score, where we take the average number of issues per page, and where errors are counted twice and warnings are counted once. 
 
So, the lower the score, the fewer access barriers a site has - so the site is ranked higher.
 
These sites are scheduled to re-check monthly, so it's a live leaderboard that will reflect changes in the rankings.
 
Without further ado, here is the current TOP 10 US Education A11Y & HTML Leaderboard:
