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 Support for students who struggle

    The school provides excellent support for students who struggle with reading, writing, or other academic challenges. There are dedicated learning support staff who offer one-on-one sessions and tailored resources to help students at their own pace. My daughter has benefited from this support, and I've seen noticeable improvements in her confidence and academic performance as a result.

    Review Support for students who struggle

    The school provides excellent support for students who may struggle with reading, writing, or other academic challenges. They offer targeted programs like reading intervention, small-group tutoring, and individualized learning plans to ensure no one falls behind. My child has had access to these resources, and I’ve seen real improvements thanks to the extra help and attention they’ve received.

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
