No school score is shown for this school. No school-level attendance or destination data is published for it, so the only signals available describe Golden Square as an area — they are identical for every school in the suburb. Showing an area figure as a school rating would imply a judgement the data cannot support. How we rank schools ▸ · How the School score works ▸
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 36 means this suburb sits in the bottom 36% of Australian suburbs we hold a figure for (14,490 of them). It describes the suburb, so every school in Golden Square shares it. It is a community indicator, not a school-quality score, and is not ICSEA. How the Community Advantage Index is calculated ▸
