One of the most important things for families considering a move to a new suburb is the quality of the local schools. We've rated each school based on Year 5 and Year 9 NAPLAN results and ranked them in order of performance (5 is best; 3 is average; 1 is worst; and 0 means no rating is available).
Rankings are only included for the 70 suburbs we've profiled in our Melbourne City Guide. You can click the suburb name to see a full suburb profile, including housing costs, amenities, safety, and more.
