Founded in 1958,[2] Applecross Senior High School has traditionally been one of the leading public high schools in Western Australia and consistently ranks academically within the top ten secondary schools in the state.[3][4][5] Applecross has produced two Rhodes Scholars.[6]
Applecross runs dedicated art, tennis and chess programs, and has traditionally been dominant in these areas.[7][8][9][10] It also runs Academic Extension classes, for those students talented in the areas of English, Maths, Science, Society and Environment, French and Japanese.
Like many Western Australian high schools, Applecross is a partially selective high school with out-of-area students accepted on a number of criteria.[11]
