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 Bullying and getting to school safely

    If you know anything about yeronga state hhigh schools history you would know it had a tainted past. One of the first schools in queensland to have a police officer stationed at. There were gangs who would hang around yeronga memorial park, machetes were stached incase a fight broke out, i have seen people jumped and stolen from at the school when i first started (which is unrelated to the gang past). Every year there were less and less of the graduates or soon to be...End up in jail. After a year, I left for a year and came back, i was absolutely astonished with how the school had cleaned up there act, it was truly a great environment where you could prosper and grow. The school expelled, implemented tougher rules and educated students to behave better. The park is now safe enough to walk through at night, which may not seem suprising, but having talked to historic alumni, it would seem inconceivable to them.

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
