North Sydney Girls High School and Abbotsleigh are the northern Sydney region’s top performing NAPLAN schools in 2024.
An independent analysis of newly released 2024 NAPLAN results has revealed the schools, including those on the northern beaches, which performed the best in the year 5 and year 9 tests.
Abbotsleigh, the day and boarding school for girls at in Wahroonga, had the best primary results than any other school in northern Sydney, scoring an average of 595.8.
Beecroft Public School, in Beecroft, was the second best for the region with an average score of 589.0, while Artarmon Public School in Artarmon was the third best with an average score of 588.8.
The top performing secondary school was North Sydney Girls High School, at Crows Nest, where the average result was 722.6.
Hornsby Girls High School in Hornsby was the second best for the region with an average score of 710.2, while North Sydney Boys High School in Crows Nest was the third best with an average score of 706.4.
Abbotsleigh said: Literacy and numeracy are really important for all students to develop and we foster that development at Abbotsleigh. Most important though, is the fostering of a love of learning, and our girls really love to learn.”
Kate Hadwen, principal of Pymble Ladies’ College, which made it into the top 10 lists for primary and secondary schools in Northern Sydney, said that as a a non-selective all-girls’ school, making a top academic list was “great”.
“But an education at Pymble offers so much more than any list could represent,” Dr Hadwen said.
“These results reflect our incredible teaching staff, high impact teaching strategies, and our commitment to student wellbeing, because we all know that girls and young women can achieve absolutely anything they want to when they have a strong sense of self-worth, resilience and purpose.”
To determine how each school performed in 2024, the scores for all five test subjects for the student cohort (year 5 or year 9) were combined and the average found.
Special schools, schools with fewer than 20 students enrolled, and schools that did not report any results for NAPLAN subjects were excluded from the analysis.
The figures were independently compiled from the federal government’s MySchool website.
