Why are some State Rank and star ratings blank? Schools can choose not to publish their results. In practice, schools that score well above their state average almost always publish theirs — so a blank rating more often reflects a school opting out than a top result being hidden. Academic results also tend to rise with ICSEA Rank, so higher-ICSEA schools more often carry a strong State Rank as well.

The buy-versus-rent equation

What it costs each week to own a property versus renting the same one — positive means buying carries the premium, negative means rent covers the mortgage.
