Best Schools, Ranked by D.A. Success Rate, New South Wales, 2018

Below is the list of the best NSW HSC schools ranked in order of their Distinguished Achiever success rates in 2018.

Where two schools have equal Distinguished Achiever success rates, the total number of HSC subject completions is used as a secondary ranking measure, with larger totals being ranked higher.

School ranking positions are assigned to the top 200 schools (at most).
