Multiple schools’ alternatives are assessed by experts based on a wide range of factors, therefore evaluating school performance may be seen as a multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) issue. In this research, we developed a MABAC approach for evaluating MCDM education's effectiveness under interval-valued neutrosophic sets, keeping in mind the constraints posed by the assessment setting's complexity and the psychological behaviour of experts. Before everything else, experts' opinions are included in the calculation of criterion weights. Next, a novel assessment framework for assessing academic achievement in schools is developed using the MABAC model. Our research aims to provide educational institutions with the tools they need to operate at peak efficiency. In addition, other schools and allied educational institutions may use the study's findings as a benchmark in their assessments, attempts to improve performance, and formulation of educational policy.
