The article proposes fuzzy-multiple methodology for а comprehensive assessment of the quality of educational performance of students in general educational institutions. The methodology is a modification of spectrum-point-based methodology developed and implemented in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug ‒ Ugra since 2017. The presented fuzzy-multiple methodology of constructing the “educational results index assessment” and the “school social well-being index assessment” makes it possible to calculate the complex estimates of each index not by ordinary averaging, but by aggregating numerical values of their indicators based on a system of fuzzy logical conclusions. At the same time, a significant process occurs: educational institutions are being ranked and linguistic recognition of terms is at the stage of consideration of each indicator. The division of universal sets of linguistic variables into terms is carried out in such a way that the educational institutions are automatically divided into quartiles according to the original spectrum-point-based methodology. Modification of the methodology also includes reasonable selection of the weight ration indicators using a pairwise comparison scheme based on averaging of a group of expert assessments. The proposed methodology can be easily implemented as software.
