THE state’s best performing OP schools have been revealed, with The Springfield Anglican College leading the pack.
An extraordinary 64 per cent of the college’s OP students received scores of one to five last year.
Brisbane Grammar School a close second with almost 60 per cent of students receiving the top marks.
More than 55 per cent of Brisbane State High School’s 411 OP students recorded OP scores in the one to five range.
The new data, from the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority, reveals the results of students from across the state in 2017.
Education Minister Grace Grace said she was thrilled with the high academic results recorded across Queensland.
“On Saturday I presented awards to the 32 highest achieving academic students from Queensland in 2017 and was awestruck by their brilliant performance and attitude,” she said.
“It is clear that Queensland students are being given the opportunity to achieve their remarkable potential no matter where they live and no matter whether they attend state, Catholic or independent schools.
“That is exactly how it should be.”
