This article identifies spatial dimensions of educational outcomes using maps of the 2016 Grade 5 reading results for Australia’s National Assessment Program–Literacy and Numeracy for all Australian schools.

We then examined the extent to which school results “cluster” in socio-economically advantaged and disadvantaged suburbs and considered the...
