Thousands of Queensland Year 12 graduates have received their Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) results today, marking a major milestone at the end of their schooling.

A total of 30,167 students across the state received an ATAR, with 37 graduates achieving the highest possible rank of 99.95. More than 24 per cent of eligible students earned an ATAR of 90 or above.

More than 57,900 students completed Year 12 in Queensland this year, with 52 per cent receiving an ATAR. The ATAR is a percentile ranking between 0.00 and 99.95, indicating a student's academic position relative to their peers in the same age group.

Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek congratulated graduates on their achievements, acknowledging the challenges they faced throughout the year.

"Congratulations to the Year 12 students receiving their ATARs today," Minister Langbroek said. "Despite several severe weather events across the state, students have achieved outstanding results and should be extremely proud of their efforts.

"Today's graduates are our future doctors, engineers, teachers and technicians, and it's exciting to see them take this important step in their education journey. The Crisafulli Government is delivering a record $21.9 billion education budget to ensure future students continue to receive a world-class education."

Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre chief executive Chris Veraa said the release of ATARs was a significant moment for students and their support networks.

"Today is not only a celebration for Year 12 students, but also for their families, teachers and school communities who have supported them every step of the way," Mr Veraa said.

"We hope all Queensland graduates take pride in what they've achieved and look ahead with confidence as they pursue their future goals."
