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 Coaching and chances to compete
Craigslea’s sports programs were well-run and gave students plenty of chances to grow and compete. Coaches were supportive, with regular training and a focus on teamwork and improvement. Students could represent the school in various sports and compete at district or regional levels, making it a great balance of development and opportunity

Review Would you recommend it?
I would recommend this school to those particularly interested in volleyball as a significant part of the school budget seems to go purely to improving the volleyball team and facilities with not as much thought to other areas of study.
Review What had the biggest impact
That would be sport, as they were so many different opportunities for sports and they basically encourage u to join. I had a bad knee due to basketball injury and they still let me play post-recovery even though I was really bad, the coach was extra supportive
Review Something only students would know
Have ur shoe laces always tied or it will be a football or a basketball for others. Because someone will snatch it and it is done as fun
