CHILDREN across the country took part in SATS examinations to test what they have learnt during their primary school years.
The schools were ranked based on performance in reading, writing and maths exams.
Figures show that in the South West, five per cent of schools fell below the government's floor standard.
Despite this, school standards minister Nick Gibb said the results showed teachers and pupils have "responded well to the new more rigorous curriculum" based on the national performance.
Mr Gibb said: "Teachers and pupils have responded well to the new more rigorous curriculum introduced by this Government and these pupils were the first to benefit from the new approach to phonics."
He added: "There are now 1.9 million more children in good or outstanding schools than in 2010, with nine out of 10 primary schools given this rating at their last inspection - and our recent rise up the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (Pirls) rankings puts the success of our reforms and the hard work of teachers on a global scale.
"This means that pupils are now leaving primary school better prepared for the rigours of secondary school and for future success in their education."
In Taunton Deane, Norton Fitzwarren Primary School was top of the league, ranking first in Taunton and second Somerset-wide.
The school saw 100 per cent of the 18 students taking the exam meet the standards for reading, 89 per cent in writing, and 100 per cent in maths.

Headteacher, Kirsti Nelson, said: "I am tremendously proud of our school and all the staff and pupils in it.
"This news has really has topped off a fantastic year for Norton, a year in which we were graded good by OFSTED and outstanding by SIAMS.
"Our team work extremely hard to ensure the best outcomes for the pupils of our school and we look at each child as an individual to support their needs academically, socially and emotionally.
"The cohort who have achieved these results have a fantastic attitude to their learning and several have already been recognised for this at their secondary school."
The lowest-ranking school was Priorswood Primary School in 151st place.
The results saw 53 per cent of the 19 pupils meet the average for reading, 47 per cent in writing, and 58 per cent in maths.
Executive head, Lindsay Gabriel, said: "After some good Key Stage 2 SATs results last year we’re disappointed that as a school we have been unable to replicate that success this year.
"Priorswood has experienced a number of changes within the senior leadership team over the past academic year, which has inevitably affected the stability of the school improvements that are being made.
"However, Ofsted’s inspection of Priorswood in April this year recognised that the new senior leadership team is already starting to bring about the improvements that are needed."
