This website provides informative and comparative school results to parents wanting
to make choices about schooling for their children. We also provide free service to the community
in Australia and abroad by answering questions via emails. The website is just a hobby. Advertising on the site only covers the running cost, but not the labour cost.
As mentioned in ABC News,
we have been ordered to remove all NAPLAN school ranking tables from our website.
Why cannot we keep school results more transparent? Why some people are so scared of the NAPLAN result tables? "The transparency and accountability, especially through the wide availability of school performance data, can only benefit policymaking in the education sector, as well as assisting decision-making by parents". As we all know, parents we would not make their choice of children's schools based simply on academic performance, but it is one of the major factors they would consider. Underachieving schools won't be disadvantaged as it could be a powerful argument for more resources for them. Then there comes performance improvement. They will become most improved schools!
A career English teacher living and working in China wrote to us: “To answer the perennial question of which are the academically superior schools in England is easy, there is a web site that lists all that countries private (independent) schools in decreasing order of academic success. My problem is Australia, my home-land to which I encourage Asian parents to think of first…I am trying to support the education system in my country but am hindered by a lack of easily obtainable and credible information”.
We are determined to keep school results transparent. Please support our work.
We'll help you to have your voice heard by publishing it in People's Voice on Reporting NAPLAN Results.
