For families buying in Prestons, the local school landscape matters. The Liverpool area has a range of public, Catholic systemic, and independent schools at both primary and secondary levels. This page lists the schools most relevant to Prestons 2170 residents, along with their National Quality Framework registration status and distance from the suburb centre.
NAPLAN results provide a useful benchmark but should be read alongside school size, demographic context, and value-added measures rather than as a single quality score. A school with strong results in an affluent suburb may not outperform a smaller school with a more diverse intake once socio-economic factors are accounted for. The MySchool website provides the most comprehensive publicly available data on NSW public and private school performance.
