It has long been a battle between the Grammar schools to cinch the number one NAPLAN-scoring spot in Ipswich, but the girls are firmly holding on to that title – for now.
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, Ipswich Girls‘ Grammar School, in East Ipswich, had higher Year 5 yearly results than any other school in the Ipswich, scoring an average of 2711.3.
Ipswich Grammar School in Ipswich was the second best for the region with an average score of 2653.3, while St Peters Lutheran College Springfield in Springfield Central was the third best with an average score of 2627.0.
A spokesperson for Ipswich Grammar School said: “At Ipswich Grammar School we make no apologies for our unrelentingly strong focus on literacy and numeracy implemented through our Explicit Teaching framework – in fact, it is central to what we do every day.”
“Being an all-boys school also allows us to focus entirely on a style of teaching and learning that boys respond to and since introducing explicit teaching in late 2016, we have seen the literacy and numeracy standards of our boys increase significantly.”
The top performing Year 9 school was Ipswich Girls‘ Grammar School, in East Ipswich, where the average yearly result was 3077.5 over the five years.
Ipswich Grammar School in Ipswich was the second best for the region with an average score of 3014.8, while St Peters Lutheran College Springfield in Springfield Central was the third best with an average score of 2991.3.
A spokesperson for St Peters Lutheran College Springfield said: “We are extremely proud of our students and staff here at St Peters Springfield and we are looking forward to continued strong growth in numeracy and literacy for all our learners”.
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.
