About this guide
Think of this page almost like a school counselor, helping you through the tough decision of choosing the best school for your child. It includes a table of school rankings, which provides a simple way for you to compare the state’s top schools based on how well their students scored in the ATAR. You’ll also find some handy articles filled with helpful tips and advice on the benefits of tutoring and how to choose the right school for you.
