The percentages for each subject are based on the number of students in the HSC merit list - students who scored 90 or more in each subject, and the total number of students who studied the individual subject. This allows the percentages of a school's HSC class making the merit list to be calculated.
The eight subjects have been averaged to give an overall rank for the top sixty schools.
(no) in the table below indicates that the school did not offer that subject.
