How we work these numbers out
- Order. “Best match” puts schools where your exact word comes up first. “Most talked about” uses the share of reviews that mention it. Neither is a ranking of how good a school is.
- Comes up in X% of reviews is the share of the school's reviews that mention your search. The Brisbane average is the same share across all Brisbane schools.
- Speak well, mixed or raise concerns is worked out by software, using only the sentences about your search. It's right most of the time but not always, so read what people said.
- What students did comes from the sports and activities former students ticked in their review. We show it when at least 3 answered.
- Evidence is strong when 5 or more of at least 10 reviews mention it, some when 2 or more people do, and thin when only one person does.
- Facts such as fees, ATAR and enrolments come from each school's own documents. Fees cover different year levels at different schools, so compare carefully.
- Open Day Reflections come from our visits to 2026 open days. They're useful, but they reflect the school's own voice.

Review Would you recommend it?
I felt as though the school and the faculty were great, especially for the time I went, though there had been times where I felt as though certain members of faculty were not the best suited for the position, and at times hoped to be in a different class.

Review What had the biggest impact
Negatively, the time I was once transferred from an English class I loved to an English class to a teacher I hated. Also the time at which I was effectively thrown out from one group of friends and forced into solitude from one girl. As for positive, there was the drama teachers in 2021 and 2022.
Review Would you recommend it?
I would absolutely not recommend ASHS (Aspley State High School) to anyone else as my time there was terrible. The teachers were unprofessional, the facilities were disgusting, and the overall quality of academic material and teaching, save for a few good staff, was appalling.
Review What had the biggest impact
Specific teachers made my time there greatly more manageable, but the vast majority of my interactions with staff were awful. Things that defined my school experience were constant bullying from certain staff (even executive members) and a total lack of competency in many teachers shaped me into an independent learner.
Review School culture
The culture was very facetious, many staff disregarded student complaints (even serious ones like racism from teachers, targeted bullying amongst students, etc.) There was a very thinly veiled culture of strictness from teachers; rules and standards were enforced incredibly unevenly amongst teachers, leading to a general pervasive sense of apathy amongst students and staff in the school.
Review School culture
It felt somewhere between modern relaxed and somewhat traditional, which mirrored the mix of both older and newer teachers in the faculty. Students were especially modern and relaxed, rules weren't enforced until it became a problem.
