To determine how each school performed, scores for all five tests in reading, writing, spelling, grammar and numeracy for Year 5 or Year 9 were combined and the average calculated.

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.
