Primary School Ranking – Brisbane West and Ipswich Corridor
Looking at options for primary school in Brisbane’s western corridor? There are so many factors that make a wonderful primary school – NAPLAN scores are just one. Primary school ranking based exclusively on NAPLAN results does not capture the culture, social and creative life of your local school. At Families Magazine, we whole-heartedly believe that academic scores alone can give a distorted view of a school’s overall achievements.
So with that caveat, here is the 2019 primary school ranking based on NAPLAN results for schools in Brisbane’s West and in Ipswich region.
Because people’s definitions of ‘Northside’ and ‘Western Suburbs’ and ‘Southside’ may vary – please check each list if you cannot find your school!
They may be listed in primary school rankings for:
- Primary School Ranking – Brisbane Southside, Logan and Redlands or
- Primary School Ranking – Brisbane Northside

What do these primary school rankings mean?
Not all that much. Primary school ranking based strictly on NAPLAN scores gives a very narrow view of the school as a whole. For most parents though, academic achievement in the school is one of the determining factors in making educational decisions. At Families Magazine we’re proud to support a holistic and comprehensive approach to choosing a school for your child.
What are my primary school options?
Most of the public schools listed have pretty strict catchment areas in place. School catchment information can be found here. If you’re considering a private school, you may be required to apply for a place in the year your child is born! Check out our Parent Fact Sheets for more information on school options.
