None of the websites analysed obtained the highest possible score (value 1), with the highest score being obtained by the SPRI website, followed by those of Etxebide and Euskadi.net (scores of 0.92, 0.90 and 0.88 respectively). On the other hand, the lowest scores were obtained by the websites of Lanbide.net and Ikastea, with 0.47 and 0.53 respectively.

Mean, standard deviation and range of scores
Mean Standard deviation Minimum Maximum Range
0,77 0,09 0,47 0,92 0,45

The average accessibility rating obtained was 0.77, with a standard deviation of 0.09. These values indicate a low variability in the rating of the portals, suggesting that they present few barriers to accessing content. This is reinforced by the percentiles. The 50th percentile (the median) corresponds to a rating of 0.80, which means that half of the portals scored at or above this value and that therefore at least half of the portals have active and effective measures to avoid accessibility barriers.

Total sites per rating interval
less than 0,6 between 0,6 y 0,8 equal to or greater than 0,8
3 (6%) 20 (39%) 28 (55%)

Only 3 portals out of the 51 portals analysed (6%) are below the value considered as the threshold for stating that certain measures are taken to avoid accessibility barriers (value 0.6). Although for the rest of the portals it can be seen that there are measures aimed at guaranteeing a minimum level of accessibility, there is a group of 20 portals (corresponding to 39%) in the 0.6 to 0.8 assessment range that should review and adjust the existing measures. The rest of the portals, which make up the maximum rating range (equal to or higher than 0.8) and are made up of 28 portals (55%), should be reviewed with the intention of solving the specific problems they present.
