There is a long history of publicly reporting HSC results in NSW. The approach in NSW is shaped by a combination of legislation, media analysis and school disclosures.

The HSC performance of NSW schools is reported in two ways:

  • NESA Merit Lists
  • media outlet rankings based on an estimation of schools’ Success Rates.

This paper acknowledges there is considerable educational and social benefit from allowing a wider perspective on HSC performance and reporting. It:

  • acknowledges the efforts of all students and schools better 
  • gives parents access to more meaningful information on school outcomes.
