Fastest-growing schools
SA · top 100 of 167
Ranked by enrolment change over 5 years — a population and capacity signal: not a quality measure, and not evidence that parents are choosing these schools. New estates, rezoning and a neighbouring closure move it more than anything a school does. Each state has its own list. Each department counts enrolment its own way and at its own census, so a figure on one state's list must not be compared with another state's. Why ▸
