Guide to Queensland schools
The Courier mail has launched a website giving the statistics for all the schools in Queensland, collated from a range of public domain data. Could be of interest to parents trying to decide where to look to get a house close to a good school.

Re: Guide to Queensland schools
Website doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone else generate reports ? The "report" button is greyed out, and inactive.

Same here - reports button de-activated.
Suggests to me that either:
1) That functionality hasnt been made public yet - or
2) That functionality is for subscribed users only

However - they aren't fully loading.... and I'm not sure whether or not this is because of my employer's firewall....
Have tried on my phone, but it seems that Android can't do java applets !!

It certainly worked for me this morning - you have to select a single school and then it generates the report for that school listing enrollments, number of teachers, number of students per teacher, revenue per student, Natlan scores, etc.

Works for me but I can't say I'd find it helpful if I was starting to check out schools. However I didn't go much on the whatsit tables in the UK either so it's probably me.

Yep - report button works now - but I agree it doesnt really tell you anything terribly interesting.
