Elite tier: the highest tier on Schools360, reflecting exceptional overall performance
Image: Wesley College
By state
Every Elite Schools page uses the same independent, evidence-based assessment — explore what it takes to reach Elite on every other building block.
Common questions
How many schools reached Elite for Learning Opportunities?
77 of 566 assessed Australian schools reached the Elite tier for Learning Opportunities, 13.6 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 Learning Opportunities 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.
