NSWBest Schools by D.A. Success Rate2018

Below is the list of the best NSW HSC schools ranked in order of their Distinguished Achiever success rates in 2018.

A school's Distinguished Achiever success rate is the proportion of all HSC subject completions by all students in a given year that resulted in a Distinguished Achiever award.

Where two schools have equal Distinguished Achiever success rates, the total number of HSC subject completions is used as a secondary ranking measure, with larger totals being ranked higher.

School ranking positions are assigned to the top 200 schools (at most).

Note that this report is an excerpt. To see the complete set of award statistics for each school, please go to the NSW School HSC Statistics report.
