Would also say that number of 99.95 students isn't the best indicator of broader performance, the metrics I would love to look at (which aren't actually available/hard to measure) is how much students actually 'improved' through attending education at that specific school. Personally I wouldn't deem taking the #1 student in the state from when they were 12 and having them result in a 99.95 necessarily school success. For example, when we look at someone like Jerry Mao (the Caulfield student who got a 50 in Specialist in Year
, he would probably get those kind of scores at any school that he attended (and thus the value-add of Caulfield specifically over other schools is pretty marginal).
On another note definitely also speaks to the correlation between socioeconomic status and ATARs, definitely something that we can work on.
