Castle Hill High School: Comprehensive School Ranking & Subject Performance Report

English Advanced – Castle Hill High School Academic Performance

English Advanced: Number of Band 6 Results
Subject	2020	2021	2022	2023	Average
English Adv	19	13	16	30	19.5
% Band 6 NSW	14%	16%	15%	14%	14.75%

Over the last 4 years, on average 19.5 students at Castle Hill High School score a Band 6 (> 90% result) in English Advanced. 

This reveals that to score a Band 6 at Castle Hill High School you need to rank at a minimum in the Top 20 students in the HSC English Advanced cohort. 

Even if your internal mark is lower than 90% (Band 6 result), if you are ranked in the Top 20, based on the last 4 years of data, your internal mark will probably moderate up to a Band 6 result.

This is skewed however by the outlier of 30 Band 6 results in 2023, and as a result, if we exclude this, the average would be 16 students scoring a Band 6 result, indicating that to be certain of scoring a Band 6 result, you would want to rank in the Top 16 students.

The average distribution of Band 6 results across NSW for Advanced English is 14.75% and as a result, Castle Hill High School performs above this distribution for Band 6 results.

Based on student-submitted data, on average 123 students sit English Advanced at Castle Hill High School. Assuming that the school performed at the state distribution of 14.75% of students scoring a Band 6, this would mean 18 students scoring a Band 6 result.

On average 19.5 students scored a Band 6 out of 123 students (18.50%), highlighting that Castle Hill High School performed above the state distribution of Band 6 results by an average of 5.2 students over these two years.

Based on 2022 and 2023, the English Advanced cohort likely sits between 115-130 across all years. As a result, the number of expected Band 6 results for each year will be between 17-18. As a result, the school’s 19.5 average Band 6 results in HSC English highlight that the school produces approximately 1.5-2.5 more Band 6 results than the state distribution.

Castle Hill High School’s average for HSC English Advanced over the last 4 years was 83.74%. This compares greater to the NSW average mark for HSC English Advanced of 81.2%. 

English Advanced	School Average Mark	State Average Mark	Difference
2021	82.90%	81.40%	1.50%
2022	83.60%	81.00%	2.60%
2023	83.90%	81.20%	2.70%
Average	83.47%	81.20%	2.27%

On average across NSW, approximately 50% of students score a Band 5 (80-89%) in HSC Advanced English, and 65% of students score a Band 5 or 6 (80-100%).

Given that Castle Hill High School’s average HSC English Advanced mark is 83.47%, this indicates that greater than 50% of the cohort achieved a Band 5 result or above. In 2023, their Band 6 percentage was 23.44%, whereas the state Band 6 percentage was only 14%. 

This indicates that Castle Hill High outperformed on Band 6 results, but likely produced fewer Band 5 results than expected – this is however good because the reason is that this year the school managed to bump up more students from a Band 5 result into a Band 6.

What this shows overall for HSC Advanced English is that Castle Hill High School:

• Has more students scoring a Band 6 result than the state distribution 
• Have a similar number of students scoring a Band 5 result compared to the state distribution

This means, approximately 57% of students in English Standard score a mark between 70-89% (Band 4 or Band 5).

Given that Castle Hill High School’s average HSC English Standard mark is 72.63%, this indicates that greater than 50% of the cohort achieved a Band 4 or above. 

Because the average mark is 72.63% (on the lower side of the range) it’s probable that somewhere between 55-59% of the cohort at Castle Hill High School score a Band 4 or 5, falling a little below the state distribution of 57%.

Over the last 4 years, on average 6 students at Castle Hill High School scored a Band E4 (> 45/50) in English Extension 1. 

This reveals that to score an E4 at Castle Hill High School you need to rank at a minimum in the Top 6 students in the HSC English Extension 1 cohort. 

Even if your internal mark is lower than a 90% result, if you are ranked in the Top 6, based on the last 4 years of data, your internal mark will probably moderate up to an E4 result.

Ext 1 English: Number of Band 6 Results
Subject	2020	2021	2022	2023	Average

According to the cohort size of English Extension 1 in 2022 at Castle Hill High, 8.57% of students scored a Band E4, which falls considerably low to the state proportion of 40.25%. 

However, this is based on only one year’s cohort, as the cohort size for the other three years is unavailable, suggesting Castle Hill High’s average proportion of Band E4s in English Extension 1 could be higher. 

For example, in 2020, 11 students scored a Band E4 at Castle Hill High, the highest over the last 4 years, despite the percentage of Band E4s in NSW being the lowest in 2020 over the 4 years, at 39%. 

Assuming a cohort size of 30-40 students each year, the 11 E4 results, represent up to a 36% E4 rate, which brings the school closer to the 39% state distribution.

Ultimately, the number of Band E4s at Castle Hill High has fluctuated moderately between 3 and 11 which could be influenced by variations in academic strength between each year’s cohort and the cohort size. So, to maximise the probability of achieving a Band E4 at Castle Hill High in English Extension 1, one should aim to be in the Top 6 of their cohort. 

Ext 1 English	School Average Mark	State Average Mark	Difference
2021	84.50%	84.80%	-0.30%

2023	83.70%	84.50%	-0.80%
Average	84.07%	84.40%	-0.33%

On average across NSW, approximately 41% of students score a Band E4 (90-100%) and 54% of students score a Band E4 (70-89%) in HSC English Extension 1.

This means, that approximately 95% of students in English Extension 1 score a mark between 70-100% (Band E3 or Band E4).

Over the last 3 years, Castle Hill High’s average mark in English Ext 1 is 84.07%, suggesting that more than 50% of the cohort achieves a Band E3 at least, which is at a similar level to the NSW distribution.

What this shows overall for HSC English Extension 1 is that Castle Hill High School:

• Has fewer number of Band E4 results
• Similar students scoring a Band E3 results as the state distribution

Biology	3	2	6	8	4.75
% Band 6 NSW	7%	7%	6%	8%	7.00%

Based on student-submitted data, in 2022, 78 students studied Biology at Castle Hill High School. If the school performed at the NSW state distribution of 7.00%, the expected number of Band 6 results was 4.68. 

As a result, Castle Hill High School’s 4 Band 6 results in Biology in 2022 outperformed the NSW state distribution for Biology by approximately 1 student. This suggests that in 2022 the school had a strong Biology cohort, given that the state Band 6 distribution was also the lowest over the last 4 years, sitting at 6%.

However, in 2020 and 2021, the state distribution of Band 6 was slightly higher, at 7%, yet Castle Hill High scored minimal Band 6’s of 3 in 2020 and 2 in 2021. This highlights that the strength of the Biology cohort at Castle Hill High tends to fluctuate. 

If we assume that the Biology cohort at Castle Hill High sits between 75-85 students each year, this indicates that in 2020 and 2021, the school underperformed the NSW Distribution. However, based on this assumption in 2022 and 2023 it outperformed the NSW Distribution indicating improving performance in HSC Biology.
