Suburb	Seaford, SA

Attendance, 2019 to 2023 (SA series, Semester 1). Seaford Secondary College recorded 85.3% in 2019 and 79.4% (SA, Semester 1 2023) — 5.9 percentage points lower. The vertical scale is set to this school's own attendance range (75–90%), so the steepness of this line cannot be compared with another school's. SA's series counts every full-time student, with no year-level restriction, so compare it only with other SA schools. Attendance is the department's own figure; it is not a measure of teaching quality. How the attendance trend works ▸

School score 27/100 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 24 means this suburb sits in the bottom 23% of Australian suburbs we hold a figure for (14,490 of them). It describes the suburb, so every school in Seaford shares it. It is a community indicator, not a school-quality score, and is not ICSEA. How the Community Advantage Index is calculated ▸
