Top ranking ACT Canberra Secondary Schools (Government and Non-government) for the year 2024. The result is a combination of both year 7 and 9 numbers from NAPLAN. One thing to note is some schools listed have very low enrolment numbers so the result is possibly not a reliable reflection of the entire school’s performance and historically can have big fluctuations as well. This is why I also included the enrolment number here, some schools got big enrolment numbers as well due to they are classified as combined with both primary and secondary components counted together. One more thing to note is that the percentage is based on the number one primary school regardless of school sector Australia-wide. Just to be clear that the particular school is James Ruse Agricultural High School for the year 2024.
Private, independent are alternative names for non-government schools, catholic schools is also included in this category as well. Government school is also referred as public or state schools depend on which state it is located.
