Understanding the Data

Local Enrolment Area: For government schools, whether this address falls inside the school’s published catchment (also called intake area or school zone in some states). Yes = inside · No = outside · No data = catchment data unavailable for this state/year · N/A = non-government (does not apply). This is address-to-area matching only — always confirm enrolment with the school and department.

FOEI: Family Occupation and Education Index — a school-level measure of educational disadvantage (higher = more disadvantage). Used as the basis of equity loading for socio-economic background in the NSW Department’s Resource Allocation Model.

LBOTE: Percentage of students at the school who speak a language other than English at home.

ICSEA: Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage. Built from parental education and occupation, school location, and the proportion of Indigenous students — higher generally means more socio-educational advantage.

ICSEA Percentile: Where the school’s ICSEA sits nationally (e.g. 80th percentile = higher than about 80% of schools).
