Top ranking NSW Sydney primary schools for the year 2019. The result is a combination of both year 3 and 5 numbers from NAPLAN. One thing to note is some schools listed have very low enrolment number so the result is possibly not a reliable reflection of the entire school’s performance and historically can have big fluctuations as well. This is why I also included the enrolment number here, some school got big enrolment number as well due to they are classified as combined with both primary and secondary components counted together. One more thing to note is that percentage is based on the number one primary school regardless of school sector Australia wide.

What happened with the rankings this year? Seems like there’s been a big shake up. Eastwood Public was often ranked in the top 20, but this year 46? West Ryde and Denistone East Public have always been on the list, but this year no where to be seen? It’d be great if admin could come up with a detailed analysis of the movements each year. Cheers.
Hi Jason,
This is certainly something I am interested in having a look in the near future.
Hi Jason,
I did some quick numbers and comparison, Eastwood Public School actually has been very stable in terms of performance. See the following link
https://www.schoolcatchment.com.au/?p=13057
West Ryde Public School looks to have some fluctuations, but not unexpected. You can have some real gems in one year that are not present in the other as government schools enrolment is based on the catchment. However, when you get to the real top end, they tend to attract bests and that will reduce the chance of this happening greatly.
