Down 99 spots is much more accurate than down ~10 on the better ed list.

Yay

**RANK 1** · 20 Jul 2012, 10:13 PM

why would it be illegal?

**soloooooo** · 20 Jul 2012, 10:14 PM

I wouldn't trust China.

because I'm pretty sure they made it illegal after last years list came out (unless you have written permission from the current principal of every school on the list).

This is incorrect. This is only based on Maths and English.

Nope.

You can tell because the top 100 schools have the 'legit' rankings posted up, and those are significantly different in some cases e.g. Sydney Technical is 15 instead of 23, Hurlstone Agricultural is 34 instead of 26 etc.

Yeah, I thought it was a little off.

Well, that's shittastic.

**LoveHateSchool** · 21 Jul 2012, 12:09 AM

Yeah, it's only on Maths/English. My school didn't get many band sixes in those so we are quite low down on that list-we had a lot of arts and humanities band sixes.

Nice pick!

**golgo13** · 21 Jul 2012, 1:02 AM

Most private lists are generated from Maths and English rates. I think SMH's list is generated from Total Band 6's / Total attempts conducted by students at the school. But isn't it illegal now to produce rankings of schools now?

**LoveHateSchool** · 21 Jul 2012, 1:43 PM

^I believe it is, and SMH can only publish the top 150.

It's a shame tough for schools like mind that hover 200 that we will no longer be able to compare cohorts with ease.

**madharris** · 21 Jul 2012, 2:41 PM

If this is only for maths and english then LOL the 25ish general maths band 6's that helped out school

**oringal** · 21 Jul 2012, 3:06 PM

at the end of the page....

The ranks are based on the percentage of exams SAT that achieved a DA(Distinguished Achiever) in 2011.

so they just basically sorted the data from here i guess...

Holy crap... Didn't realise my school was that badly ranked......

I was wondering why our school was so low. Our school isn't the best at Math/English, rather, as you stated, at the arts/humanities subjects
