Which school is my address zoned to?

| School | Sector | Type | Years | Enrol | Attend. | School score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cairns State High School | Government | Secondary | Yr 7–Yr 12 | 1,632 (2019) | — | n/a |

Enrol is the department's own count: QLD state schools, February 2019 census, full-time students (full-time students only, state schools — part-time students are not counted); QLD non-state schools, February 2026 census, full-time students (full-time students only, Catholic and Independent schools — part-time students are published separately and not added). Departments count enrolment in different ways and years, so a figure is comparable only with others from the same series. It is a size figure, not a quality one.
School score is shown only where the school itself publishes a signal — attendance (NSW & SA) or university destinations (VIC). n/a means no such figure is published for that school, so we will not print one: the remaining signals describe Cairns North as an area and are identical for every school in it. Our estimate from open data — not ICSEA, not an official rating.
