Two Mandurah schools are among 25 in Western Australia who achieved high results in the 2024 NAPLAN testing.
Greenfields Primary School and South Halls Head Primary School scored above-average literacy and numeracy results when compared to schools across the country with a similar socio-educational standing.
The results take into account the student's parental education levels and occupations, its geographic location and the Indigenous status of its students.
Parents can now log onto the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority's MySchool website to view their child’s school results.
Around 1.3 million children in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 underwent NAPLAN testing in March.
ACARA CEO Stephen Gniel said it is important to consider all of the information provided for each school on the MySchool website.
“We need to know how our schools are doing, but it is also important that this information is presented in a way that considers the individual circumstances of a school, especially its level of socio-educational advantage, which our reporting takes into account," he said.
“That’s why the full suite of data on ACARA’s My School is so valuable for Australian parents and carers as well as the broader community.
“On ACARA’s My School, you can look up any school to find out information about the school from the principal and look at how many students and teachers are at the school. As well as its NAPLAN results, you can also explore attendance rates, as well as financial information for 2023,
including funding levels and sources.
“This helps parents and carers understand the full value and quality of a school, inclusive of NAPLAN results within the broader context in which each school operates.”
