School score 23/100 blends this school's own published university destinations 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 14 means this suburb sits in the bottom 13% of Australian suburbs we hold a figure for (14,490 of them). It describes the suburb, so every school in Ararat shares it. It is a community indicator, not a school-quality score, and is not ICSEA. How the Community Advantage Index is calculated ▸
