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 first swimming carnival i attended there was a sense of community and belonging there. there was a lot of opportunities for sport which had a great impact on me during the earlier years but when it was time to get serious about study in the later years cleveland was not much help.

    Review School culture

    extremely relaxed it was only strict about the uniforms but about actually doing the work they didn’t care. the teachers became a lot more relaxed in the senior years with giving no homework or anything really to do and even in class not many students actually did any work and the teachers didn’t care. but if you wore a ring they were very strict.

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
