I agree MrsMac! Many of the results are one test on one day so even if a school says that they have high Naplan results - keep in mind that many schools train kids to perform well on that particular day. I would be more inclined to visit the school, talk to the kids and teachers, visit the classrooms and see what type of programs they run in the school. Ask about their welfare programs, bullying policy, extension/gifted programs, and remedial programs. Often you get a feeling just walking through the school about what kind of culture they are fostering. Good luck with it all. (Public Primary School Teacher talking here too )
