Student Achievement Data

Sace Stage 1 and Stage 2

Explanatory Note:  each year SSABSA provides individual schools with tables of student achievement data.   The “state” figures refer to ALL schools in South Australia – government, Catholic, independent, metropolitan and rural.  The “like” figure referes to schools which are similar to Glossop in terms of size, degree of rurality, socio-economic status, degree of aboriginality and so on.  We do not know which schools are in our group.

Stage 1: - School Average Score (this is a score out of 100)

This table shows that we are constantly well above like schools.  It also shows that our rate of improvement is well above both like and state schools.

Stage 2: - School Average Score (this is a score out of 20)

This table shows that our Stage 2 (Year 12) scores are WELL ABOVE like schools and ABOVE STATE AVERAGE.  It also shows that our rate of improvement is well above both that of the two groups.

% of A’s and B’s (f or 2008)

School                       Like                            State
59.7%                         40.6%                         55.7%

This table is a very strong indicator that we are ADDING VALUE to our students.  This is an outstandingly positive statistic.

S.A.C.E (South Australian Certificate of Education) Completion Rate

This table is yet another strong indicator of “Value – Addedness”.  We are now consistently way above like schools and well above state average.

Glossop High School is an high achieving school.  This is due to many factors.  One of these is that we “avoid the soft bigotry of low expectations”.
