This list sounds pretty typical. What it has to do with ‘value’ I am not sure.

STEM schools are disfavored because engineers often take 4.5-5 years to graduate
Private schools are favored because of better FA, and because their full pay students graduate debt free and tend to come from wealthier families. More applications due to better FA also affects admission rates.
Public schools are disfavored because they use OOS tuition instead of in-state tuition in their computations, removing their primary advantage for middle class families in the rankings.

Basically useless.
