I have just finished a data process on the leavers of every high school in NZ from 2021.

The NZ psyche is that if you are from a poor home you are screwed. Not even close.

For upper-level achievement, NZ’s best decile one school is McAuley High School in Otahuhu. Metrics have their leavers ahead of 17 decile nine [schools](https://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/tag/schools?ref=goodoil.news) and nine decile 10 schools.

The decile 10 schools who are in their dust are three of the most expensive (at least $50m establishment) new schools with great new learning theories and acclaimed leaders: Hobsonville Point Senior High, Albany Senior High School and, worst of all, Rototuna Senior High, near Hamilton.

The best thing any education interested person (eg a parent) can do in NZ is seek out who is performing well and work out why. I can help them with the data.

Well done Team McAuley and others like you.
