Attendance, 2019 to 2024 (NSW series, Semester 1). Austral Public School recorded 92.4% in 2019 and 88.6% (NSW, Semester 1 2024) — 3.8 percentage points lower. The vertical scale is set to this school's own attendance range (80–100%), so the steepness of this line cannot be compared with another school's. NSW's series counts students in Years 1–10 only (the national reporting standard), so compare it only with other NSW schools. Attendance is the department's own figure; it is not a measure of teaching quality. How the attendance trend works ▸

School score 61/100 blends this school's own published attendance with the advantage and Year-12 attainment of its area. It is our estimate from open data — not an official rating, not ICSEA, and not a measure of teaching quality.

Area advantage (CAI) — our Community Advantage Index — is our own estimate of the surrounding community's socio-educational advantage, derived from ABS SEIFA. It is a percentile, not a score out of 100: a CAI of 68 means this suburb sits in the top 32% of Australian suburbs we hold a figure for (14,490 of them). It describes the suburb, so every school in Austral shares it. It is a community indicator, not a school-quality score, and is not ICSEA. How the Community Advantage Index is calculated ▸
