NAPLAN 2019: The best Queensland schools revealed

Year 3 and Year 5 students at Fraser Coast Anglican College got an average NAPLAN score of 4729, making it the area's top performing primary school.

The second best performing primary school was St Mary's Primary School in Maryborough where the average result was 4625 for Year 3 and Year 5 students.

The third best performing primary school was St James Lutheran College where the school-wide average score was 4547.

Fraser Coast Anglican College was also the Fraser Coast's top performing high school.

There, Year 7 and Year 9 students received an average NAPLAN score of 5780.

The second best performing high school was St Mary's College, Maryborough where the average score was 5584, while the third best performing school was Xavier Catholic College where the average score was 5562.

NAPLAN remains controversial with the Queensland Government calling for a national review into the test.

Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority CEO David de Carvalho said more than 50,000 students nationally re-sat the test after interruptions in the online test. 

About half of all schools accessed the test online in May and ACARA plans for all students to take the test online next year. 

NAPLAN advocates maintain the test is an important way to view student and school progress at one moment in time and schools use the results to improve teaching.
