新西兰《METRO》发布了2017年度奥克兰中学综合排行，多数家长没有看懂杂志的复杂表格。每个学校考试制度不一样NCEA，CIE和IB怎么比？NCEA又有3个等级，更是无从下手。
其实，简单分析，大学升学率UE（University Entrance）才是最大家最关心和比较过硬的关键参数。以下是奥克兰地区中学从2012年到2016年，5年来大学升学率的平均值排名，计算权重向近年倾斜。

有关排名的一些说明：
1.在新西兰，教育部每三年会对学校进行评估，并出具相关的报告（ERO），全面评价该学校各方面的表现。但是ERO不做横向比较。
2.教育部对学校有一个评分机制，即大家都非常熟悉的Decile评分。这个评分与学校的教育质量无关，仅是教育部对学校所在社区经济情况的评分，往往用于房产销售。
3.上表提供的5年平均升学率。就单年升学率看，2013年，9所中学的高考升学率超过90%；而2016年，ACG的三所中学、AIC、Kristin和AGS没有提供数据。在提供数据的学校中，仅有5所中学的升学率超过90%，分别是：
St Cuthbert's College,
Diocesan School for Girls,
St Peter's College
King's College
ACG Parnell College
4.私立学校成绩好过公立学校。但是同纯公立学校相比，半公立学校（指以前为私立学校，后纳入国家教育体系的学校，多数是教会学校）的学生通过UE考试和新西兰全国教育成绩证书（NCEA）3级的几率明显更高。
5.decile 1的中学（decile 10为最好，decile 1为最差）中，教会女校McAuley High的UE考试通过率为65%，远超过奥克兰地区总体水平——55.4%。 McAuley High在新西兰全国教育成绩证书（NCEA）3级考试中的通过率排名第四，仅次于St Peter’s College, Sacred Heart College 和Sancta Maria College。
6.在UE考试和新西兰全国教育成绩证书（NCEA）3级的通过率均超过90%的前15所学校中，6所是女校，4所是男校，还有5所是男女混校。
7.单一性别的学校在UE考试和新西兰全国教育成绩证书（NCEA）3级考试中的通过率更高，分别是65.9%和83.1%。
8.对比UE考试和新西兰全国教育成绩证书（NCEA）3级的通过率，私立学校最高，半公立学校（教会学校）次之，公立学校最低。
9.新西兰全国教育成绩证书（NCEA）3级通过率排名前15的学校中，Westlake Girls’ High School是唯一一所公立学校。
10.对于那些开设剑桥或IB的学校来说，学生通过新西兰全国教育成绩证书（NCEA）3级的平均概率是84.4%，远远超过总体水平——75.7%。
11.在评级为7级以上的公立学校中，St Peter’s College是2016年唯一一所UE考试和新西兰全国教育成绩证书（NCEA）3级的通过率均超过90%的学校。
12.如果考虑买房的校区，请参考2017年奥克兰地区纯公立学校（不含教会学校）排名
