How to read this

A district's score is the average School Chooser Score of its state primary and secondary schools that have a score. A district with only one scored school is shown but not ranked. A school counts in the postcode district of its own address, which isn't the same as its catchment area, so check the school's own Getting a place section before you choose a street.
