The present study aims to "develop a model for assessing the performance of schools in the Islamic Republic of Iran" using the "Balanced Scorecard" model based on studies carried out in the National IMAWA Project (Pattern of an Iranian and Islamic School), and methodologically A hybrid approach. This means that in the first step (with a qualitative approach), first, the study documents and related researches and examination of the documents collected in the IMAWA project were dealt with, and then interviews collected in the project (491 interviews with managers, Deputy heads, teachers and parents of students) were evaluated by applying a targeted sampling method and by examining the texts, 100 interviews with the directors and vice-chairs of the research schools reached the stage of saturation. Accordingly, 54 indicators for evaluating the performance of schools in the Islamic Republic of Iran were identified as 15 categories and 5 dimensions of "financial", "internal processes", "growth and learning", "customer orientation" (dimensions of conventional balanced scorecard model) And then "management and schooling". In the second stage of the research (quantitative approach) using the "researcher-made questionnaire" and using the method of "hierarchical analysis and paired comparisons", the categories were compared by several experts. Since the categories have been obtained from the results of some examination of the documents and interviews, its content validity was examined based on the "expert view". Also, due to group comparisons performed using EXPERT CHOICE software, the results of the surveys showed that the "school goals and strategies" as well as "manpower management" of the "management and school" dimension are considered as the most important The categories and categories of "school health programs" are considered as the "least important" category of "internal processes".
