Academic Results
Although partially a selective high school, the friendly and highly co-operative environment between non selective and selective students have contributed to academic results increasing every year in government NAPLAN literacy and numeracy tests, School Certificate Tests and the Higher School Certificate. These advances have ultimately resulted into Macquarie Fields High School being just out of the top 100 of New South Wales Schools in terms of 2009 HSC outcomes ranking 108th and of 2012 ranking 107th.

“We do not raise our children alone.... Our children are also raised by every peer, institution, and family with which they come in contact. Yet parents today expect to be blamed for whatever results occur with their children, and they expect to do their parenting alone.”
