# Success Tutoring School Rankings (schools.successtutoring.com) > Independent rankings, profiles and side-by-side comparisons of all 9,755 Australian schools, built on official ACARA (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority) School Profile and School Location data for 2025. Published by Success Tutoring, an Australian K–12 tutoring provider. ## What this site provides - A profile page for every Australian school: sector, type, year range, enrolments (with 10-year history), ICSEA, socio-educational quarters, staffing, student–teacher ratio, location (suburb, postcode, LGA, ABS region, electorates) and nearby/similar schools. - The Success Index: a 0–100 score built from five ACARA-derived factors (ICSEA 50%, top-quarter share 15%, students per teacher 15%, 5-year enrolment growth 10%, 5-year ICSEA trend 10%), computed as percentiles within school type. Schools with fewer than 80 students are scored but not ranked. Special schools are not scored. - Ranking tables by state and category (primary, high, public, private, Catholic, independent) and directory pages for every suburb, postcode, local government area and ABS SA4 region. - Senior secondary results where the state publishes them by school: VCE median study score and % of study scores 40+ for Victorian schools (VCAA), shown on profiles and in 'top VCE schools' rankings; for Western Australia, the SCSA list of schools with students in the top 15% of each Year 12 ATAR course (count of courses per school). - A compare tool, a 'schools near me' tool and plain-English parent guides. - Machine-readable JSON for any school at /api/schools/{ACARA_ID}, and every ranking table as CSV at /api/rankings/{scope}/{category}.csv. ## Key pages -
