Question 1

How do I compare Victorian high schools on School Explorer?

Accepted Answer

Open the compare page, pick a VCAA reporting year (2023 is selected here), then add schools from search or from the “Compare” action on rankings. Metrics shown are as published by VCAA for that year.

Question 2

What VCE metrics can I compare between schools?

Accepted Answer

For the selected reporting year, the tool compares sector, median VCE study score, percentage of study scores of 40 or above, VCE cohort size, and baccalaureate-awarded students where VCAA publishes those values.

Question 3

Why might a school be missing from compare for a year?

Accepted Answer

School names or suburbs can differ slightly between years in VCAA tables, or the school may not appear in that year’s publication. Try another reporting year or confirm spelling from the official VCAA listing.
