Try asking in the Scotsnet topic - but we don't having rankings in the same way as England.

AFAIK we don't rank schools in Scotland (and I'm a teacher). Most children go to their catchment school (where you are guaranteed a place) unless another one is handier. You can view Education Scotland reports on their website. I'll try to find a link.

Just to add to the comment about catchments: they're fixed, and not variable according to demand like in England, so when you rent/buy a house you know which primary school(s) you're in the catchment of (two because you will be in the catchment of a non-denominational school and a catholic school - although you may have to travel further for the RC school).

In most cases, the catchment also defines the secondary you would go to (although there are a few and reducing exceptions if you made a placing request for the primary).
