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 Readiness for life after school

    The reason I put the academic ranking at 7 earlier is because bayside also put emphasis on the idea that university isn’t for everyone, so apprenticeships were regularly offered, as well as certificates and the school was quite accomodating. As for university they definitely had career planning resources but I believe they could’ve been better, but they definitely tried in terms of have career expos at school and having uni reps come talk to students, but in terms of study habits and things a like they weren’t very consistent

    Review Readiness for life after school

    I felt very prepared after high school. The teachers were more than teachers, they were friends. They all gave great advice on how to proceed after high school, all telling stories of their own steps into the real world. Using their advice, it made the switch between high school and the real world very easy.

Reviews come from parents and former students whose link to the school we've checked. Open Day Reflections come from our recordings at 2026 open days. Words in [brackets] were unclear, and […] marks a skipped part. They reflect the school's own voice, so read them alongside the reviews. How reviews work
