Reading the comparison

Success Index is our 0–100 score from ACARA data (see the methodology). ICSEA describes the socio-educational advantage of the school community; 1000 is the national average and most schools fall between 900 and 1100. SEA quarters show what share of students come from the most and least advantaged quarter of Australian families. Students per teacher divides full-time-equivalent students by full-time-equivalent teachers; it is not class size.
