Real questions. Unedited answers.
Every full review answers 20+ questions about daily life at one school — here's a taste.
Was bullying an issue at school and how did the school deal with it?
"I felt very safe at school, times when I heard about bullying occurring usually the head of year was notified and action was taken. However they weren't very organised in helping students who needed separate rooms for exams for mental health reasons, which at times took a toll on their results."
Would you recommend your school to others?
"Yes, despite being such a big school they have a good support system for students and emphasise the importance of community."
What made you pick this school? Do you feel it was worth the cost?
"I chose the school because of its reputation and proximity to home, but looking back, I'm not sure it was the best fit. Honestly, I don't feel it was worth the cost."
What do you like most and dislike most?
"What I liked most was the convenience of the location and the variety of subjects offered. However, I disliked how the school didn't always seem to prioritise support for struggling students — the focus was too much on academics rather than a well-rounded experience."

Frequently asked questions
How do you verify that the reviews are real?
Every review is submitted by a real parent or student, and we require verification using school-specific items like student ID cards, senior jerseys, or other non-copiable proof. We don’t accept anonymous or unverified submissions.
Who are the reviews written by?
Our reviews come from current parents and recent graduates with firsthand experience. You’ll get perspectives that are honest, relevant, and recent (unlike the second-hand stories you hear from friends of friends).
How many schools are covered?
Nearly 100 Brisbane high schools are on the site today, with 600+ verified reviews between them — and more added every week. If you don’t see your school yet, there’s a good chance it’s coming soon (or ask us via the contact form below).
How much does it cost to access the reviews?
Reading state school reviews is free — just create a free account and every full review unlocks. Access to every private & Catholic school on the site is a one-time $289 Full Access pass, available when private & Catholic school content officially launches. Create a free account and we’ll let you know the moment it’s live. For context, $289 is less than 0.1% of the $300,000+ a private or Catholic education can cost — a small price to hear from families already inside.
Can I trust what’s written in the reviews?
Yes. Every review is checked for authenticity, and we don’t allow schools or outside parties to influence the content. These are unfiltered stories from people who have walked the path you’re on now.
Why not just rely on school rankings or open days?
Open days and test results only tell part of the story. They won’t show you how students actually feel at school, how issues are handled, or whether the environment is a good fit for your child. That’s where our reviews come in.
Is this platform independent?
Yes. We are not affiliated with any schools, education groups, or government departments. Our only priority is helping parents make confident, informed decisions.
Have a question we haven’t answered?
Independent and parent-first. Schools cannot pay to edit or remove reviews.
