Learner numbers reported to the Department, by year
These counts are not a measure of quality. A number can change because a school adds or drops grades, because new schools open nearby or boundaries change, or because of an error in what was reported.
The Department’s lists record this school for 2018 as a combined school, and for 2021 to 2022 as a combined school. A school listed as a different type usually offered a different range of grades, so those numbers and later ones may not be counting the same thing.
