It can be hard to know what the best school is - often it is the school that suites your kids really.
Without that though we can only look at exam results. Here is how to find the best primary schools on the Coast based on NAPLAN results. Take this with a grain of salt, there is more to life than exam results. I have heard many good things about schools that are low on this list.
Having good friends that live next door and not having a big commute to school can really raise your quality of life. Here are the results based on the NAPLAN results for year 3 only.
Go and visit the school to get a feel for it, see what your kids think as well.
