NAPLAN results provide a useful benchmark but should be read alongside school size, demographic context, and value-added measures rather than as a single quality score. A school with strong results in an affluent suburb may not outperform a smaller school with a more diverse intake once socio-economic factors are accounted for. The MySchool website provides the most comprehensive publicly available data on NSW public and private school performance.
