Which school is my address zoned to?

Homes in Newcastle fall into different school catchments, and the nearest school is often not the zoned one. 1 of the 3 schools here has a mapped enrolment zone; we hold no published boundary for the other 2. Only an exact address settles it.

Schools in Newcastle

3 schools in Newcastle: 2 independent, 1 government.

We don't rank the schools in Newcastle. Only 1 of the 3 schools here has published school-level data, so there is nothing to rank it against — the remaining figures describe the suburb, and are identical for every school in it. They're listed alphabetically below.

Enrol is the department's own count: NSW government schools, August census, FTE (full-time-equivalent students at the department's August census, government schools — the department's file does not say which year's census). 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.

Attend. is the department's own figure: NSW, Semester 1 2024, counting students in Years 1–10 only (the national reporting standard). Attendance is compared only within a state — do not set it beside another state's figure. Why ▸

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 Newcastle as an area and are identical for every school in it. Our estimate from open data — not ICSEA, not an official rating.
