Which schools suit what your child loves?

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 What had the biggest impact
The teachers at my school were very supportive and had the greatest impact on my schooling as they cared for me and every other student and wanted us to succeed
Review Would you recommend it?
I recommend this school for a strong variety of teachers ranging in various subjects. All the teachers I had were very pleasant and excellent at their jobs and helped me achieve my goals. The sense of community is also very good around the school. There is a problem with students who are consistently acting up without many repercussions.
Review What had the biggest impact
Mrs Neilson was my favourite teacher and is very good at her job and makes sure each and every student understand the content and offers her help at any time. The teachers in general were the highlight of the school but also the sports program was also very fun.
Review School culture
The schools culture was very inclusive, with many different communities within the cohort for each individual to find themselves comfortable in. It qas very progressive when dealing with issues such as sexuality, gender and racism by providing support to all students no matter what.
Review School culture
Relaxed culture but still strict on deadlines and trying to get everyone to submit on time all though it wasn’t the end of the world as long as you had a good enough reason.
