Explanation:
Please note that:

1. The schools that benefited from this methodology do not account for 100%...

You need the definite article at the beginning of this sentence and you can omit it before 100%. I think the preposition should be "from" instead of "with".

I think you may want to use "approach" instead of "methodology".
The first is commonly used.

  -> I prefer not to read more into it than is necessary. Texts on education tend to over-waffle about "why we did this" etc etc", and a lot of the time it just seems like padding and BS.
