What Institutional Excellence measures
How well is the school run? Schools360 assesses this across three factors. School Governance: Focuses on the vision, strategy, parent involvement, transparency and communication in school governance. Reputation, Prestige and Alumni Connections: Considers school history, recognition, community engagement, alumni network and school impact. Sustainability: Examines the school's commitment, strategy, reporting and practices related to environmental sustainability.

Common questions
How many schools reached Elite for Institutional Excellence?
15 of 143 assessed Victorian schools reached the Elite tier for Institutional Excellence, 10.5 percent.
What does it take to reach Elite?
A building block score of 87.5 percent or above on Schools360. There is no partial credit and no top-N fallback: appearing on this list is the claim.
Why do some building blocks not have a page for every state?
A state page is only published once at least 8 schools in that state clear Elite for the building block. Fewer than that reads as thin to a parent and arbitrary to the schools left off, so Victoria and New South Wales are the only state pages at launch.
How is the Institutional Excellence score calculated?
Each building block is the average of three factors, each scored out of 20 from four assessed elements. See the methodology page for the full weighting and data sources.
Is this the same as the national Institutional Excellence list?
No. This page shows only Victorian schools that reached Elite. The national page carries the full list for Australia and the methodology deep dive.
