My kids are far too young for secondary school but I'm really glad that this information is readily available in WA. It makes such a difference on deciding the best school for your kids if you can see the grades schools are achieving. I know that it is not the complete story to choosing a school, but it's good to know. The school websites are great too - full of information. I'm pleased that a couple of state schools made the top 12 rankings as I don't know if we would be able to afford private schooling.

This is why I go to a private school only 2 public schools in the top 12 the Austrian government should really do something about the state schools lacking and federal should take over schooling. That a really poor result.

Why would you want a European government looking after your schools? ;)
