An independent analysis of five years of NAPLAN results has revealed the schools which consistently performed the best in the Year 5 and Year 9 tests between 2017 and 2021.
Over that five-year period, Abbotsleigh, in Wahroonga, had higher Year 5 yearly results than any other school in the Northern Sydney region, scoring an average of 2973.8 each year.
John Colet School in Belrose was the second best for the region with an average score of 2968.3, while St Aloysius’ College in Kirribilli was the third best with an average score of 2959.3.
The top performing Year 9 school was North Sydney Girls High School, in Crows Nest, where the average yearly result was 3540.5 over the five years.
North Sydney Boys High School in Crows Nest was the second best for the region with an average score of 3535.5, while Hornsby Girls High School in Hornsby was the third best with an average score of 3493.75.
To determine how each school performed between 2017 and 2021, 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.
The figures were independently compiled from the Federal Government’s MySchool website.
