Below is a list of selective and agricultural high schools run by the NSW Department of Education. Entry to these schools is managed by the department's Selective High School and Opportunity Class Placement Unit. In years before, prospective students sit the Selective High School Test during May when students are in Year 6 (in former years March) and are allocated places at selective schools according to their profile mark, which is out of 300, which comprises both exam and school marks, however there is no more marks being provided to applicants. Students may list up to three preferred selective or agricultural high schools they wish to enter.
A number of other government and non-government high schools also select their students based on merit; these include, for example, creative and performing arts schools, and also some private schools.

Creative and performing arts high schools
The New South Wales Department of Education operates creative and performing arts high schools in communities throughout the state for students who wish to work with creative arts when they grow up. These schools aim to foster excellence in creative arts fields while teaching the same core syllabus as other state-run high schools and are accorded a high degree of autonomy by the department in selecting students and teaching staff. The schools boast specialised facilities and equipment and competition for places is acute.
