A total of 1,197 primary schools provided data for the annual Achievement in Curriculum for Excellence Levels publications, with the remaining 729 on the government database not participating, either because no children were up to standard, the school roll was too small or the data was not collected centrally.
Schools with a higher proportion of deprived pupils were weighted to rise up the league table to recognise their achievement in delivering a good education despite the challenges of poverty.
The schools were then placed in a league table according to how well they were performing.
In the area covered by Scottish Borders Council a total of 10 primaries received at least 350 points - with none earning full marks.
Here are the top 10 best performing primary schools in the Scottish Borders.
