School performance rankings were pioneered in the UK and USA in the 1980s and have subsequently spread to other, mainly Anglophone, educational systems including those in Australia. Accumulating research evidence has shown the inherent weaknesses of all such ‘league tables’. This session will discuss legitimate ways in which schools can be compared for accountability purposes and describe recent research that demonstrates their inappropriateness for purposes of parental school choice.
