NAPLAN results revealed: Searchable list of Grafton schools

We have crunched the numbers for Grafton from the recent NAPLAN test results for all of the years tested. See how schools performed for literacy and numeracy.

The tests were cancelled in 2020 due to Covid-19 but now the latest NAPLAN results are in.

We’ve crunched the numbers to see how Grafton schools are performing in the key areas of numeracy and literacy.

NAPLAN (the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy) is the only national assessment that all Australian children undertake.

Years three, five, seven and nine were tested.

St Mary’s Primary School performed strongly with the highest average numeracy and literacy scores for both year three and five.

Grafton high schools performed well across the board for years seven and nine with average scores all above the 500 mark.

It comes as improvements to NAPLAN, including moving the test to Term One and returning results much earlier, will be implemented from 2023 following a review led by NSW.

Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell said she was pleased that changes were happening in line with the review initiated by NSW in 2019 to make NAPLAN a more effective diagnostic tool.

“These are necessary changes I have been pushing for over the past two years, particularly following the success of the NSW Check-In Assessments, which give teachers results within 48 hours,” Ms Mitchell said.

“Currently the timing of NAPLAN means it is not diagnostic, as students sit the tests quite late and results are delivered months later, minimising their value in the classroom.”
