How do u know what your school is ranked (1 Viewer)

[slinky]

You people see what i mean when i say my school isn't very academic, it ain't even on the list for school ranking in 2002

 

[untamedanimal]

Whats your school. If its not on that means no one got a band 6 in anything

 

[slinky]

I would tell you but i might offend people from my school, who might also use this forum. i can tell you that its a crappy gov school in SW Sydney.

The list should have the schools that got no band 6s - as all schools are in the public forum - its not like anyone could keep a school a secret - I guess if your school's not on the list either it came equal last (no band 6s) or it got overlooked - or you couldn't find it

oh....*feels and looks remarkably stupid* thanks untamed animal....

 

[untamedanimal]

Its not that i overlooked them but i cant find any stats for schools with no DAs

 

[speersy]

i think the list should discount any people with UAI's below say 50. As there are alot of people in my year who don't try which has obviously brought down our school DA percentage

 

[untamedanimal]

Well a DA is only achieved with the highest band, and there are students who get over 50, possible even in the 80s who wont contribute to getting the school a DA. So according to your theory, anyone who does not get a DA should not be counted in the stats, meaning some schools, especially ones like mine would easily get higher than some of the top selective school percentages

[Nescient]

[untamedanimal]

not really

 

[mack]

My school is 15th.....I must say, im rather disappointed.

 

[chardie2]

What newspaper are these rankings in?

 

[untamedanimal]

The newspaper (SMH) only released top 120. Someone posted the rankings based on number of DA for all schools with atleast 1 DA and I changed them into rankings by %

 

[aud]

Wow... my school is 35th... but it says we had 1476 people sit for it... I don't think so 300 would be more likely...

 

[grimreaper]

I dont suppose there are any 2003 figures for this?

Assuming that each student sits roughly five examinations.... 1476 / 5 = 292.2 ~ 300.
