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 Subject range and curiosity
I think because it was a smaller school it wasn’t the best, considering there were only about 100 students in my grade they did the best they could but if they didn’t offer a subject students wanted to take they did provide other options. For example I wanted to take French as an elective but because my school didn’t offer it I ended up having to do it via distance education, which meant I had time table clashes but I made it work

Review Year 12 subject choices
I chose General English, Math Methods, PED, Psychology, Physics and Certificate III in Fitness. I chose a mix of academic related and sports related subjects, as they both were fun, interactive and generally interesting.
Review Subject range and curiosity
Brisbane Bayside State College offered a large diversity of subject choices, such as psychology, agriculture, design, art, and more. These classes always have students signing up for them, and a large positive response was received via a more diverse subject selection.
Review Getting extra help
If a student was struggling in a core subject, it was very easy to access teachers or others for help. E-mails are always open, and there are tutorials for math's, science's and English's throughout the week that are open to everyone.
