My school results
My main concern about the results on myschool for certain schools are probably compramised, by this i mean that i know of 1 school in which the teachers helped the year 7 students with the answers of the exam??????
So how can we go by these results, its an indication thats all.
Not to mention the schools which have many overseas students who have trouble with the english language, their results are low but it does not mean that the school has failed.

I agree with you Ray. It is a major oversight that the school profiles do not include the percentage of students form a non-English speaking background. Since the NAPLAN tests are very culturally biased, schools with high numbers of NESB students will typically have lower NAPLAN scores.
