Asked 19 Sept 2026
We are thinking about selective school for our kids (a boy and a girl). Just wondering if there are any differences between different selective schools ? Would appreciate recommendation on which one we should apply ?

This list is worth a look. It ranks many schools in NSW by number of students with ATAR99.

Our boy went to Sydney Boys. Our boy loves the school. In my opinion, despite other selective schools being stronger academically, High more than holds its own when it comes to offering an all round education for boys. I cannot recommend High enough.
