Who wants to bet on which schools will be up at the top of the vce best performing schools list?
(before the paper comes out tomorrow)
I bet Mac.Rob hehehe
-
yeah im going for Mac.Rob too :D
are you a macrobbian too??
-
^ Yes she is. ;D
Since MHS didn't have any 99.95ers this year... I'll say:
1. MacRob
2. MGS
3. MHS
-
1. ST BEDES COLLEGE
-
For mine it's:
1. Mac.Rob
2. Bialik College
3. MHS
My school should be somewhere in there... I'd say top 20.
-
I vote my school for #1 Non-Private, Non-Selective school. :)
-
Mount Scopus?
-
St. Kevins, I'll go for a longshot that could pay some good return haha
-
hmm
1. Macrob - Median: 96.75, which is > 2008's
2. a Jewish school
3. MHS - they didnt get any 99.95s
^ Yes she is. ;D
Since MHS didn't have any 99.95ers this year... I'll say:
1. MacRob
2. MGS
3. MHS
not mgs, their median was 91.5
:)
-
Hey dont forget the public school in the Western suburbs ! LOL.
-
If we're going for long shots... Yeshivah-Beth Rivkah Colleges in St Kilda East. That's my pick. That school came 5th in the state last year, they averaged a median subject score of 36.
This was last year's results. My school went down (again).
-
@ Ally, yes I am a Mac.Robbian. Wow congrats on bio and you're doing the azn 5
well, it's confirmed that Mac.Rob median ATAR (96.75) is definitely higher than MHS's median ATAR (95.15)
so i have a feeling it's quite safe here...unless a 'Mount Scopus' happens again this year
-
Thanks :) May I ask who you are??
Wow Mac.Rob did really well this year! :D
-
Apparently 13% of Mount Scopus's year 12 cohort attained scores over 99. Epic.
-
I read it was 17% at either Scotch or MGS last year.
-
My guess is pretty much the same as most:
1. MacRob
2. Mount Scopus
3. MHS
I don't think MGS would make it in the top 5 (possibly even top 10?).
-
Apparently 13% of Mount Scopus's year 12 cohort attained scores over 99. Epic.
Macrob: 15.9% over 99, 4 duces
still think theyll go first place xD
and as for 2nd place Mount Scopus, Bialik college, Yeshivah-Beth Rivkah College or Leibler Yavneh = small cohorts
private ones that should be considered - Ruyton Girls i reckon, others are hard to tell
but GIRL SCHOOLS FTW! :D
-
1. Mount Scopus
2. Macrob
3. *Insert another Jewish school here*
-
My friend got me the newsletter, Macrob had a median of 96.35, ridiculously high. MHS had 95.15, so I imagine one of the private schools beat us!
-
what shit do these jews pull to manage such good scores?
-
^^I belive they many of the jewish schools go to school on saturdays but I could be wrong^^
-
1-Macrob
2-MHS
3-MGS
-
I'm pretty sure MGS got owned this year in terms of median ATAR score.
-
Mac.Rob had over 44% of study scores over 40, as well as the highest number of 99.95s in the state. If any school beats that...
-

you guys still got better than Scotch lol: "The median score was 90.35 (125 of the 249 boys scored 90.35 or above)."
and check out penleigh and essendons: "The median ATAR score at PEGS was 88.65, placing 50% of our students in the top 11% of the country"
-
i heard plc was first or something lol and macrob was 6th? meh dont take my word
-
Mac.Rob had over 44% of study scores over 40, as well as the highest number of 99.95s in the state. If any school beats that...
How many was that? 4 or 5?
-
^^I belive they many of the jewish schools go to school on saturdays but I could be wrong^^
Au contraire, they leave school on Friday at 1pm as Saturday is the sabbath for them, hence no school, no work, etc.
Mount Scopus is really close to my school, we went there on an Religious Education excursion last year. Got to see the synagogue and talk to some of the students there.
EDIT: @TrueTears My school's not first this year, we only had one 99.95, and median ATAR 92. Anyway, I don't think it's possible for my school to have VCE scores that high when a large portion of the really smart kids do IB, not VCE.

Maybe we should start a betting market?
1st place finisher:
MacRob - $1.10
MHS - $3
Bialik College - $5.50
Mount Scopus - $7
Korowa - $20
Scotch - $50
Any non-selective public school - $1001
Each way 1/2 odds.
Trifecta
MacRob-MHS-Bialik - $5
MacRob-Scopus-MHS - $13.50
etc.
:P

I hear Loyola College is paying the value of the global economy for $1 investment. :P
(yes that is my old school who I hate)
-

Wrong, the media made a mistake, it was 6% over 99. 17% over 98 =~27 ATARs over 98.
EDIT: Source http://www.plc.vic.edu.au/learning-plc_student-results.aspx
-
The top schools will always be selective and Jewish ones. Schools like Melbourne Grammar and Scotch get a lot of top scores, but because they:re pretty much open-entry, the median will naturally be lower.
-
When do we actually find out?
Is the Herald Sun/The Age website likely to be updated (early) tomorrow morning?
-
Don't school ranks/medians get published tomorrow or is it something else?
-
I think it is all ranked according to % of study scores above 40.
My school had 33% of SS above 40
45% of kids ATAR >95.00, 11% > 99.00
Dux 99.80
Where do we rank>?
-

i think around 7. last year st. kevins got 33% SS over 40 too. ranked 7.
this site is pretty good - http://bettereducation.com.au/results/vce.aspx :)

Yes, Age has a lift-out with schools' performance.

Based on study scores (I'm still looking for the one based on atar rankings):
1. MacRob
2. MHS
3. Mt Scopus
Edit: ahhhh got beat. :S
-
LOL, i bet you by 16 seconds
-
Is the flawed system of measuring schools' performance by students' raw scores still employed?
-
ROWVILLE 3178 WHAT WHAT!?!?!!?
-
I vote my school for #1 Non-Private, Non-Selective school. :)
Looks like I was right :)
Glen Waverley Secondary College was the top performing non-selective state school, with a median score of 34 and 21 per cent of students getting subject scores of 40 or more.

Last year glen waverley was ranked 64.. im surprised its such a low ranking school,
-
64 actually better than what you would think.
For example my old school is ranked 54 (fairly crap considering how good the school is) and a vast majority of students achieve 90+ (the 90's club as they called it lol).
So i just think that it is very difficult to overtake other schools when you are within the top 70 for example... but obviously as you get to the 200+ ranked schools, jumping a few spots would be easier.
-
is there a site that has the whole schools list for this year?
-

-
I'm quite surprised my school managed to get 36 as the median VCE study score. Not bad in comparsion to MHS (38) and Mac.Rob (39).
-
My school's median is 30, which was their goal for like 2 years (was previously 29). Finally! xD

Was this year the best year your school has had academically-speaking? =D
-
I dunno, the dux was 99.55 (last years was 99.5) and so far all I know is that there are like 9 or 10 people with 90+, compared to 16 last year ><. IMO still worse then last year
-
I am quite surprised at my school. Easily the best TAFE VCE provider.
-
I was rather surprised at my school's median (35) and this year we've had a 99.95'er too~!
I love how my school is taking too much credit it for it though
-
We got 2nd, what?

LOL I used to go to your school back in years 7 and 8, so you guys sort of have two. Well, not really, but still :P. Your school tends to attract a lot of bright students, but most of them end up leaving. One of the best students to have ever gone there was dux of Mac.Rob in year 10 and year 11, won a silver medal in the IBO and got 99.90 (despite achieving 4 raws of 50). There's also been a handful of 99.95ers who've left as well...it's been a bit of a brain drain, so I guess the school is trying to show that they can retain good students.
-
I don't like how the media always portrays Macrob having a higher score than MHS as evidence as girls are smarter than boys.
They never seem to understand that MHS accept way more students, hence they accept 'dumb' (not super smart, just smart) students. If MHS cut off 60 of their worst students, they'd be right up there
Plus there's always the jocks who couldn't care less about VCE and are planing on picking up a trade. And not to mention crazy traditions of compulsory singing everyday on the final weeks of school leading up to exams :P
-
we are a private school that only had 81.75 as the median atar.. that's pretty bad hahah
and pretty much no 40+ maths, spesh, chem and physics (like 1-3 in total, and we aren't a small school)
-
I don't like how the media always portrays Macrob having a higher score than MHS as evidence as girls are smarter than boys.
I don't think they specifically target MHS, they just use the sheer number of single-sex girls schools against to the number of single sex boys schools to support the theory that girls are smarter.
Of the top 20 schools, 11 were girls', including MacRob, Beth Rivkah Ladies College, Loreto Mandeville Hall and Ivanhoe Girls Grammar.
Only three boys' schools made the top 20: Melbourne High, Melbourne Grammar and St Kevin's.

<3 my school getting 2% of SS above 40... 27 median SS.
We're pro.
Last year our median was 34 (Second best public school in the western suburbs!) and 10% of SS above 40.
I lol'd.

Lol how bad would the principal feel, don't schools get funded based on academic achievement?

Where do we see the rankings for this year?

^ they finally updated it: http://bettereducation.com.au/results/vce.aspx
Note that for this site, theres two options at the top: "Rank by percentage of scores of 40+" or "Rank by Median VCE score"
-
^ they finally updated it: http://bettereducation.com.au/results/vce.aspx
Thanks. :)
Lol, 164th :D

I vote my school....from the bottom. Probably tops from the bottom of the list! We got 4 kids with ATARs over 45.00 and rest of the 51 kids got LESS than 45.00. Beat that!! And only one kid got 81.00 but bombed out of ESL and can't meet the pre-req. WOW we're really GOOD!! ;D
-
It won't even load anything on the page
-
Equal rank 362, my school is so great :P
-
207, it was 255 last year so that's alright
-
205...
-
Equal rank 362, my school is so great :P
366th, haha we beat you..wait :(
Are you meant to look at the left or right side of numbers :/ i'm confused now
-
118 :D
i looked at the left side
-
Well, them i'm 363 :| haha
-
My school went down about 15+ spots, though it's still on the first page. 29th. I think you're suppose to look on the left side of the numbers. xD
-
page doesnt even load for me :/

Type in "2010 vce school ranking" into Google, then you'll see the link. Worked for me second time round.

Thanks for that EPL :)

OOOOOPPPPPPSSSSS forget to say my school is at 410 - beat that!
-
OOOOOPPPPPPSSSSS forget to say my school is at 410 - beat that!
Wodonga Institute of TAFE at 527 :D
Your school is pretty good at IB though
-
But did their ranking freefall- 2009 at 265 and 2010 at 410? I think our school would break any record! The worst performing school in all of Victoria. we didn't even have an english teacher who could teach the texts... our average sac mark for english was 10/50....beat that! Sorry if you're from Wodonga!!
-
hmm 32.. but higher when it comes to median study score
-
@Sam:
Wow that's a shame. How did your school Dux go? they would at least have someone over 90.
-
Hahahah my school just gained 12 spots! From 422 to 410 LOL. Lowest school on VN?
We do get on average about 10 ppl over 90 though, even 1 or 2 over 99.
But due to being a fairly large cohort in the north west, majority of them are pure slackers which heavily drags down the numbers.
Got a better feeling about next years cohort. Out of all the 40s our school got (not many), only about a quarter were from the yr 12s LOL.
-
316, no surprises there!
-
I think I win. 437.... shame
-
i love how my school jumped from 363 last year to 89 this year..
whoooop prideeeee
-
Souljette_93: Our duxes scrapped in at 92.00 one was a real 92 and the other got compensation because of a death of a parent. But as most ended up with low scores in English they don't meet the pre-req and are virtually stuffed. I got in because I refused to do the school's chosen texts and did Orwell instead- saved myself *phew* got SS 35 raw in Eng.
