Which schools in Melbourne’s east are consistently head of the class in NAPLAN results?
A News Corp Australia analysis of five years of the national test results has revealed the strong performers in the Years 5 and 9 tests between 2014 and 2018.
Over that five-year period Presbyterian Ladies’ College, in Burwood, had higher Year 5 yearly results than any other school in the region.
The top performing Year 9 school in the area was Melbourne High School, which is selective.
To find out how schools performed between 2014 and 2018, News Corp Australia combined each school’s average scores for each year and calculated a yearly average.
The 2019 results are not publicly available yet.
Special schools, schools with fewer than 20 students enrolled during those years, and schools that did not report any results for NAPLAN subjects were excluded from the analysis.
A Federal Department of Education spokesperson said the NAPLAN was an important measure as it told Australians at national, state and territory levels how well the nation was equipping students with critical literacy and numeracy skills.

“NAPLAN is not designed to compare individual students, but rather enable teachers to identify and focus on specific areas to improve individual student achievement and to potentially adjust their teaching emphasis,” the spokesperson said.
