Independent NAPLAN data has revealed the top performing schools across the region over the last five years. Where does your kid’s school rank?

• Canberra’s best funded schools
• Does your kid’s school have too few teachers?

These are the Canberra schools that consistently top the state’s NAPLAN results.

An independent analysis of five years of NAPLAN results has revealed Canberra Girls Grammar, in Deakin performed the best in the Year 5 and Year 9 tests between 2014 and 2018.

Over that five-year period, the school had higher Year 5 results than any other school in the state, scoring an average of 2754.0 each year.

The school also topped Year 9 school NAPLAN results, with an average result of 3151.4 over the past five years.

Canberra Girls Grammar School Principal Anna Owen said research showed single-sex schools were the best learning environment for girls and young women.

“Schools such as ours increase student confidence and provide a safe place for students to develop their identities, be curious, test their knowledge and excel academically,” Ms Owen said.

“Our aim is for all our students to develop a deep love for learning as well as to be able to demonstrate their thinking.

“We also don’t replace teachers with computers but rather, attract and retain high-calibre educators to deliver our greatest asset: outstanding teaching and learning.”

To find how each school performed between 2014 and 2018, their average scores for each year were combined and the yearly average found.

Special schools, schools with fewer than 20 students enrolled in either year, and schools that did not report any results for NAPLAN subjects in either year were excluded from the analysis.
