Hello Statalist helpers!

I ran a gllamm multilevel model to explore a binary outcome. the data I'm using are individuals clustered in schools. The outcome of interest is whether or not they have passed an exam.

I started by estimating an "unconditional model" with no explanatory variable and then ran additional model with the explanatory variables included.

Based on the output (below), how can I estimate the percentage of variance explained at the "grouping" level (that is - schools)? Or is my output missing important information? In other words - I would like to be able to report the % variance in the outcome (whether or not individuals have passed the exam) that is explained by differences across schools. Is this possible?

Here is the main output:

*Model 1 (unconditional):
. gllamm pass_exam, i(sptn00) pweight(pwt) link(logit) family(binomial) nip(30) adapt
number of level 1 units = 12552
number of level 2 units = 335
 Condition Number = 1.1434506

 log likelihood = -8160.5935
