Notes

  1. 1 2 The now-defunct socioeconomic decile measured the socioeconomic status of the school catchment area from 1 (the poorest areas) to 10 (the wealthiest areas).
  2. The roll for each school changes frequently as students start school for the first time, move between schools, and graduate.
