Australia’s richest schools of 2024 have been revealed, with the top five in several states exposing a major wealth divide between public and private schools.

In exclusive analysis of financial data from the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority’s MySchool database, we ranked schools based on wealth in each state, combining gross income – including fees, government funding, and other sources such as donations.

Find out the top five in your state below, and click through to see where your school ranks.

NEW SOUTH WALES

While the richest private schools in NSW have added tens of millions of dollars to their coffers over the past five years , in the same period nearly 200 schools – the majority of them public – have lost funding to the tune of $90 million.

Analysis of school finances as reported to the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) has revealed 168 primary, secondary and combined schools have seen their gross annual income shrink between 2018 and 2022. All but 50 are government schools.

It comes as NSW’s 20 wealthiest schools – all based in Northern Sydney or the inner city, with the exception of The King’s School in Parramatta – have raked in more than $6.7 billion combined in the same period – a sum more than six times the amount the NSW government will spend on basic maintenance of its public schools this year.

Richest schools in NSW (five-year income)

■ Knox Grammar School: $559,668,410

■ Barker College: $462,564,688

It takes around 800 of the bottom-earning schools to have the same income as the top 20 wealthiest.
