The following table lists the 2019 best primary schools in South Australia. English and Maths are rated with 5 grades while the overall academic performance has 3 rating scales for you to choose. Related ratings: Top Adelaide Primary Schools | Top Adelaide Non-government Primary Schools | Top Adelaide Government Primary Schools | SA Primary School Ratings. Alternatively you can compare up to 5 SA primary schools and trends with 2D / 3D charts side by side. For other types of results or rankings, please visit School Ranking Home. There are a large range of factors that impact on academic results in addition to the role played by the school itself.
