ACT year three, five, seven and nine students have achieved the best overall NAPLAN results in the nation.
A greater percentage of Territory youngsters scored at or above the national minimum standard than any other state or territory in reading, writing, spelling and numeracy.
The NAPLAN summary report - a breakdown of state and territory results - was released at 10am this morning.
A total of 94.3pc of ACT year three students scored at or above the national minimum spelling standard while 96.9pc did the same for writing and 96.1pc were on par or better with their reading.
Less than five per cent were below the minimum standard for grammar and punctuation.
