Which school is my address zoned to?
Homes in Waratah fall into different school catchments, and the nearest school is often not the zoned one. 2 of the 8 schools here have a mapped enrolment zone; we hold no published boundary for the other 6. Only an exact address settles it.

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