Most advantaged school communities
NSW · top 100 of 3300
Ranked by our Community Advantage Index (from ABS SEIFA — education + occupation). This reflects the community a school sits in, not its academic results. CAI is a percentile of suburbs, not a mark out of 100: a suburb on 90 sits in the top 10% of Australian suburbs we hold a figure for (14,490 of them), and one on 10 in the bottom 9% of Australian suburbs.
