Re: Top 100 School Rankings

Agreed.

Never thought they'd repeat it because from ranks 2 to 7, there's usually changes.

NSB = hope to stop Ruse's reign as Number 1.

Ruse as number 1, 18 consecutive years and counting.
Apparently NSB's cohort next year is one of the worst in recent memory. So I don't think that's happening.

Source? That's what they said about Fort Street but looks as if they were wrong.

Okay, maybe I was exaggerating. But definitely not top 2 material from what I've heard from friends.

Re: Top 100 School Rankings

So this whole ranking system by band 6s annoys me. My one friend got band 6's in 8 units worth and looking at a 99 ATAR. I have another friend who was a top all rounder and looking at 92. However in this ranking system they say the person who got 92 did 'better' for the school.

Not only that but it counts a top of the state equal to a 90.

Both of these really rob the better schools.

Re: Top 100 School Rankings

Nice to see ryde secondary boosting back to the top 100 again (Y)

Although judging from the first place list it was bound to happen.

Re: Top 100 School Rankings

Fruak yeah, Chatswood High School Jumped almost 100% to 79, so good. Is success rate the number of over 90s? or what?

what really? they sound pretty 'smart'. if they were to drop they would still be in the top 10 for sure right?

I agree, but dont forget school rankings are not official as they arent compiled by BoS. Ideally, the best way to rank schools would be through using the ATAR, but since this isnt publically available, it cannot be done.

Maybe they have a great set of teachers and method of teaching the course. Add in a quality cohort and it could definitely explain their performance in this area.

Think we are interested in learning Legal Studies so it made us willing to work harder for it. Also Mock Trials is slowly becoming a huge tradition at our school.

yup we have great legal teachers. One has retired but we still have some great legal teachers.
