I suggest you go to your public library and ask a reference librarian for the ratings of schools within Australia. I know in the US you can find out how every elementary, middle and high school ranks in terms of test scores and what percentage of graduates go on to college. I assume the same information is available in your country.
I think this is now your third question on this. Many of us here live in different parts of the world and can't really help. The idea of checkng with a university librarian sounds good to me. Also, I suppose you have checked all the local phone pages.
I don't mean to be curt - I personally don't know how to connect you. I thinking walking into and asking at the reference desk of a university library could be a good idea.. depending on who is at the desk.
I think you'll find that the reason you have not had a response as yet is that those of us who read your earlier enquiries either left it for someone with children attending schools in the area you are researching to answer as they would be able to give you much sounder advice than those of us who are out of Sydney or who do not have the responsibility of educating children.
However as there has been no response from anyone else here in Australia, I have tried to find a few links that may be of some assistance to you.

You could check these out and if you come up with anything more specific, I will try to follow up with more information - but I must stress I have no knowledge of the ratings, educational success, costs, etc of any of the schools.
Good hunting.
I have just noticed from another thread that you have already moved to Ashfield. Why don't you telephone some of the schools in your area - perhaps you could make an appointment to see the Principal, and discuss the matter with them - They would be in a much better position to give you the best advice.
