Brisbane schools where students scored top ATAR score of 99.95

As high schools across Brisbane celebrate their graduating class of 2025, one elite boys’ school in the inner city may have the most to be proud of.

While not all schools give a detailed breakdown of student marks, many of those that educated the 37 students who earned the state’s top mark – an ATAR of 99.95 – are promoting their success.

Here’s our list of schools that the top students attended, with names of students where the schools have shared them publicly.

Brisbane Grammar School in Spring Hill has seven students who achieved an ATAR of 99.95, including the dux, Benjamin Li.

In an article on the school’s website, Li said that at BGS he had learned the value of discipline and hard work. “It feels good to have that hard work recognised,” he said.

Its neighbour, Brisbane Girls Grammar, has four students who scored 99.95: Saathvika Maturu, Zara Walsh, Mei Mei Zhang and Grace Gong.

Over in East Brisbane, the Anglican Church Grammar School, known as Churchie, has three boys with the top mark.

Another school with three top achievers is Mansfield State High School, a large public school on Brisbane’s southside. Students Nevindie Botheju, Doris Wei and Andrea Wang all achieved an ATAR of 99.95, with their school praising their “quiet determination, resilience and integrity”.
