Summary
Ned Bigby is a student at James K. Polk Middle School who keeps a guide to surviving adolescence and delivers its tips straight to camera. Each episode of this Nickelodeon live-action sitcom takes one school hazard — lockers, bullies, gym class, substitute teachers, crushes, group projects — and follows Ned with his athletic best friend Jennifer 'Moze' Mosely and the tech-obsessed Simon 'Cookie' Nelson-Cook as they try tips that rarely survive contact with the school day. The series is structured around bells and hall passes, with recurring foils including the feared science teacher Mr. Sweeney and Ned's on-off feelings for Moze. Created by Scott Fellows, it ran three seasons from 2004 to 2007.
Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide is a 2004 comedy and family television series. It is rated TV-G. A typical episode runs 23 minutes. It was made in the United States.
Only 30 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 30 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s television series — 1,360 of them. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 1 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Series · 2000s (1,360 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 30.
