Primary schools · 246
NSW public primary schools teach Kindergarten to Year 6. Infants schools are a small group of schools that teach only Kindergarten to Year 2.
High schools · 121
NSW public high schools teach Year 7 to Year 12. Most are comprehensive local schools; some are selective, single-sex, specialist (for example creative and performing arts, sports or technology) or senior colleges for Years 11–12.
Central and community schools · 6
Central and community schools teach both primary and secondary students on one campus, usually from Kindergarten to Year 12. They are common in regional and rural NSW where a separate high school is not practical.
