Academic results · 2024 cohort
Year 12 ATAR outcomes across 0 Australian private schools.
Median ATAR + % top 1% / 5% / 10% / 20%. Real data from each state's published rankings — not estimates. Compare schools across NSW, VIC, QLD, SA and WA on a single comparable rank.
★Key takeaways
- ✓Median-ATAR leader: pending (—) — , .
- ✓Top % ATAR 99+: pending — —% of cohort in top 1% nationally.
- ✓0 private schools currently have published ATAR data on this page. Schools without published outcomes have not been included; the data is built from state-level results notifications, so missing schools generally either didn't publish or sit outside the top ~30 in their state.
- ✓ATAR is a national rank (0–99.95) so cross-state comparison is valid even though the underlying credential (VCE / HSC / QCE / SACE / WACE) differs.
Top by median ATAR
Highest median ATAR — top 0 schools
Median ATAR is the most-cited single measure of school cohort strength. Half the cohort score above this figure, half below.
| # | School | City | State | Median ATAR | % 99+ | % 90+ |
|---|
Top 1% nationally
Highest % of cohort with ATAR 99+
An ATAR of 99 or above places a student in the top 1% nationally — entry-level Medicine, Law, Actuarial Science. This metric strips out cohort size differences.
| # | School | City | State | % ATAR 99+ | % ATAR 95+ | Median ATAR |
|---|
Top 10% nationally
Highest % of cohort with ATAR 90+
ATAR 90+ is the widely-cited "top-decile" threshold — competitive entry for Engineering, Commerce, Science at top sandstone universities.
| # | School | City | State | % ATAR 90+ | % ATAR 80+ |

Methodology
How we built this dataset
Data source. ATAR figures sourced from Better Education's state-level rankings, which aggregate results published by each school + each state's results notification. We match each Better Education record against our private-schools directory by city + name; only confident matches are included.
Cohort year. Most-recent published cohort (typically 2024 results released early 2025; some 2023 where 2024 not yet released). Cohort year visible on each school's results page.
Cross-state comparability. ATAR is a national rank (0–99.95), so a 95 in NSW HSC and a 95 in VIC VCE represent the same percentile position. Underlying credentials differ (study scores, raw marks) but rank is comparable.
Why some schools have partial data. Better Education publishes the top ~30 per state, and each state's data fields differ. NSW and QLD typically publish % top 99+/95+/90+/80+ but not median. Victoria typically publishes median + % top 90+ + median study score + % 40+ scores. WA + SA publish a subset. We display whatever is published, marking missing fields with an em dash.
What we exclude. Public schools (state government schools) are out of scope for a private-school directory. The selective government schools (MacRobertson, Melbourne High, James Ruse, Sydney Boys, Sydney Girls, etc.) often top the absolute rankings on Better Education's pages — for that context, refer to Better Education's full state pages.
Updates. Rebuilt at each release of new state data. Re-run: scripts/parse-bettereducation.mjs → scripts/match-outcomes-to-slugs.mjs.
