Distances are straight-line from home to school. “Furthest distance at threshold score” — where applicants are tied on score, distance decides. This figure is the furthest distance at which a place was offered to someone on the minimum qualifying score. For example, if the threshold is 251 and two applicants both scored 251, only the closer one received a selective place.
