Elwood primary is an amazing school, with lovely teachers and excellent programs! Highly recommend

so good I love this school 🏫 such good education. Best school in the world.

The school hall is old, small and run down. Large school events are impossible unless held outdoors. Most of the school social events are held off site at a trendy, noisy venue in Elwood or St Kilda, and they make people pay a lot of money. They assume everyone has a lot of money, which is really annoying. The school is bursting at the seams. It is not designed to hold so many students and urgently needs new facilities. It should at least have a drive through drop off and pick up zone, considering the severe congestion at those times. The school is not well designed and not very accessible. I also didn't like the uniform. Too much navy. Bring in some colour. And a windcheater option would be good. The before school care doesn't open until 7:15AM which is terrible considering the number of students they have! And makes it impossible if you have to start work at 7am or even 8AM for some people, especially single parents find it difficult and will be locked out of a lot of jobs. School admin needs to be improved as a number of times I was told I'd run out of CSEF even though none of it had been used. It also performs quite badly on NAPLAN considering 56% of its students are from the highest socio education advantage group. You can find much better performing schools in areas that are much less expensive than Elwood. There is a lack of diversity with only 16% of students coming from a non-english speaking background. And there is a low percentage of kids in Elwood compared to the Melbourne average. So kids might find it hard to socialise outside school. The road congestion and dense living environment can be stressful for the kids. These are some of the many reasons I chose to take my child out of Elwood primary school.

There are major accessibility issues. The roads were not built to service such a large school.

I think the area is full of apartments without street parking and is more set up to cater for single or childless adults that want a trendy cafe lifestyle or the prestige of living near the beach.
