Orara High School

• ICSEA ranks in the bottom quartile among New South Wales government secondary schools.
• ICSEA is meaningfully below the local suburb average.
• A lower share of students have a language background other than English than typical peers (20% vs 34.3%).
• Indigenous enrolment share is higher than peers (24% vs average 12.9%).
• Enrolment has grown 35.3% from 2008 to 2025 (634 → 858). Peer median change was -4.5% (schools with ≥50 students at start of their span).

Peer group = same state, sector, and education level. ICSEA describes socio-educational advantage of the school community, not school quality. Indigenous and LBOTE shares are context only (shown in the detail comparisons below, not as ranking tiles). Each metric shows this school once, then peer-group averages on the same scale.

NAPLAN results, attendance, and finance for Orara High School are published on the official My School website. SchoolGuide.au links there rather than republishing that data.
