Counts are derived from NESA's published merit lists and exclude students who opted out of publication. The per-student figure divides each year's count by that year's Year 12 enrolment from ACARA's August census, so it is approximate. NSW law does not permit ranking schools by results, so no rank or percentile is shown, apart from the permitted top-10% list, which this school is on.
Selective entry
St George Girls High School is a fully selective school. Entry is by the state placement test in the year before starting; applications open early in the year. The department no longer publishes per-school minimum entry scores.
