Rank these schools best to worst:
MHS, MacRob, Nossal, JMSS.
"Best" means more than academia imo, so: MHS, then Mac.Rob, then Nossal and JMSS are tied
Justification:
1) MHS - strong academic record (consistently top 3), but also have excellent facilities for a school that doesn't charge exuberant fees (swimming pool, huge oval, hockey field and pavilion, 4 outdoor basketball courts, etc.). Good location too.
2) Mac.Rob - superb academic record (usually first), but honestly, it looks very shabby (ie. toilet block and/or mental institution). They sold their oval to a golf course company a while back due to lack of funds and they don't have many large open areas. Having said that, they have an excellent central location, better than that of MHS.
3a) JMSS - decent academic record so far, but what the actual f*ck is with their facilities. One basketball court and a tiny fake grass lawn is all they have. They don't even own the car-park behind their school, terrible. Also, I have a personal vendetta against the ones of the 601 bus who think they are top sh*t by sitting down with their bags everywhere discussing their A's in psychology instead of giving up their seats to the non-uni adults on the bus**. Disgraceful. Apparently they can use Monash resources, but I'll always associate them with that one crappy basketball court

Clayton isn't the coolest place out there either.
3b) Nossal - don't know a whole lot about them, but I doubt they have it as bad as JMSS facility-wise. Also, I would feel bad putting them under JMSS in the ranking scheme

I'm not sure where their school is, but it's pretty close to being rural, so location isn't so great either.
**sorry for the rant sentence, had to get that off my chest
