NAPLAN scores kept secret in school ranking ban

Parents will be kept in the dark about school NAPLAN rankings under a new ban on league tables for literacy and numeracy.

Its MySchool website was updated today with 2020 enrolment data and 2019 financial information. The taxpayer-funded portal does not contain any 2020 data on truancy rates, or results from NAPLAN (National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy), since last year s tests were cancelled during the COVID-19 pandemic.
