List of schools in Victoria, Australia according to 2005 VCE results
The table is based on VCE results as published in The Age newspaper on January 15 2006. The data are ordered by the percentage of the students with a study score above 40 (P40 in the table). The maximum study score is 50. If the results are equal, schools are then ranked by the median study score (MSS in the table). If a school is asterisked, that means that the school has too few students to be meaningful and it could change with one or two students removed.
Low average VCE score by P40 or MSS measure does not necessarily mean that the teachers of a school do a bad job or provide a poor environment for the gifted students. Some schools (e.g. Mac.Robertson Girls' High School, Melbourne High School) are highly selective and take only the fast learners, some expensive private schools attract fast learners by offering them scholarships, etc. On the other hand, many schools accept all the applicants (or even specifically encourage applications from students with learning disabilities) but still provide an excellent environment (accelerated programs and advanced classes) for the gifted students.
Some subjects are easier to get high VCE Study Scores than the others due to the strength of competition within that study, thus, by "optimising" the choice of the VCE subjects a school can artificially increase its median Study Score. Finally, academic ProgresS is only a part of the services that secondary school provide to their students. Still many parents consider high VCE study scores to be very important in their choice of the schools.
