What does median VCE study score mean?

The median is the middle study score among students at that school for the reporting period, as published by VCAA. It is one indicator of cohort performance, not a complete measure of school quality.

Why do some schools show "I/D" instead of a median?

VCAA publishes "I/D" (insufficient data) when cohort or reporting rules mean a figure is not released. Those schools should not be compared numerically on that metric.
