My school

29 January 2010My School enables you to search the profiles of almost 10,000 Australian schools.
You can quickly locate statistical and contextual information about schools in your community and compare them with statistically similar schools across the country.

My School provides an important opportunity for everyone to learn more about Australian schools, and for Australian schools to learn more from each other.

The My School website has been developed by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), an independent authority that is responsible, among other things, for publishing nationally comparable data on all Australian schools. ACARA has worked closely with education sectors and partners across the country to develop this website.

The My School website provides detailed information about all the schools in Australia. It uses a new index of student and school characteristics, developed specifically for the purpose of identifying schools serving similar student populations.
