Key Factors in Our School Rankings
When evaluating Melbourne’s best primary schools, we prioritise the following:
- Academic Results
We analyse standardized assessments such as NAPLAN to gauge academic excellence. Schools consistently ranking in the top percentiles are given higher weight.
- Curriculum and Learning Opportunities
Schools offering advanced literacy, numeracy, STEM, and language programs are more highly regarded. A school’s commitment to 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, digital literacy, and collaboration is also considered.
- Facilities and Extracurriculars
Modern classrooms, libraries, sports complexes, and technology access influence rankings, as do arts, music, sport, and leadership opportunities.
- Community Feedback
Parent satisfaction and school culture are vital indicators. Reviews on forums and education sites, along with school surveys, contribute to overall rankings.
- Inclusivity and Wellbeing Programs
Top schools excel in supporting all learners, including those with special needs or from diverse backgrounds, and implement comprehensive wellbeing and anti-bullying frameworks.
