*The School Disadvantage Index is a calculated value for a school based on the average Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage (IRSD) of the address of students that attend that school. The IRSD is a general socio-economic index published by the ABS that summarises a range of information about the economic and social conditions of people and households within an area. This index includes only measures of relative disadvantage. A low score indicates relatively greater disadvantage in general. A high score indicates a relative lack of disadvantage in general.

**The index of community socio-educational advantage (ICSEA) was created by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) specifically to enable meaningful comparisons of National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) test achievement by students in schools across Australia. ICSEA is a scale which allows for comparisons among schools with similar students. The lower the ICSEA value, the lower the level of educational advantage of students who go to this school. The higher the ICSEA value, the higher the level of educational advantage of students who go to this school. ICSEA is set at an average of 1000 and this value can be used as an ICSEA benchmark.
