Bomaderry High School was the region’s top-performing public school according to the data.
The system ranks schools based on the percentage of exams sat that achieved an HSC score of 90 per cent or more.
Some schools in NSW opt to not appear on the Better Education ranking system, so the system does not provide a complete overview of results.
Nowra Christian School and Shoalhaven High School data does not show up in the online spreadsheet.
