NSW Education Minister Rob Stokes will push for the urgent dumping of NAPLAN, saying the national test is being used dishonestly as a school rating system and has sprouted an industry that extorts money from desperate families.

At a meeting of education ministers on Friday, Mr Stokes will call on the federal government to replace NAPLAN in "haste" with a less high-stakes test that assesses each student's progress as recommended by the Gonski report.

His call has the support of teachers and the state opposition, with Labor's education spokesman Jihad Dib urging him to go a step further and ask for the NAPLAN data to be immediately removed from the My School comparison website.

Mr Stokes said NAPLAN, through its publication on My School, had become a rating tool rather than a measurement of student progress. "I am all for transparency, but this is not transparency - this is actually dishonesty," he said.
