It is not at all surprising to see Rainworth State School ranking among the best primary schools in Queensland. Based on Good Education Group\u2019s website <\/a>showing Rainworth State School\u2019s NAPLAN results from 2014 – 2017, the Bardon-based primary school has consistently done well, scoring well above the national average, in all areas: Reading, Writing, Spelling, Grammar, and Numeracy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Concerning 2019 Preliminary NAPLAN Writing Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ACARA <\/a>noted that NAPLAN results in writing for 2019 have revealed a \u201cpleasing improvement\u201d  from last year,<\/a> especially that there was a noticeable decline in recent years across all year levels. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSchools have been making focused efforts for some time to address concerns about their students\u2019 writing. Students are to be congratulated for this year\u2019s improvement, especially Year 3 students, where the results are particularly encouraging,\u201d ACARA CEO David de Carvalho said.

Despite the improvement in writing results, comparison of performance in writing by state and territory reveals<\/a> that Queensland Year 9 students are the second least performing, just a step above the Northern Territory students, with only 77.6 percent of the cohorts meeting or above the national minimum standard. The Qld average is 5.3 percentage points lower than the national average of 82.9 percent.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the percentage of Qld students at or above the NMS in Years 3, 5, and 7 also fell below the national average, with the gap increasing with each year.
