Year 6 Numeracy performance by school locality
Most year six students who participated in the PILNA 2021 numeracy assessment were enrolled in non-urban schools: 78% in non-urban schools and 22% in urban schools.
Figure CNF6.6 shows the average performance of year six students by school locality. Year six students in urban schools scored slightly higher than those in non-urban schools in the overall numeracy domain and across all four numeracy strands. This is consistent with PILNA 2015 and PILNA 2018, when students in urban schools also scored higher than students in non-urban schools in all numeracy areas (Figures CNF6.6.1-6.6.5). The biggest difference was observed in the ‘Data & Chance’ strand.
