Yes, life is different for everybody everywhere but I think it is possible and helpful to characterize what is essential and distinctive about a group of schools (although difficult).

tokenadult, I love numbers too but some of the truest and most important things in life are difficult or impossible to quantify, like "demeanor". Can't we trust that most people will sense differences in demeanor when they experience it?

The English language is full of words that have meaning without numbers.
