Karragullen Primary School started in 1891 by the Canning Sawmill for the children of its employees. In 1913 the state school was opened at Illawarra Orchard. In 1920 the school was moved to Brookton Highway to be closer to where families were establishing new orchards.
Due to falling student numbers the school was closed at the end of 1999. After the closure children in the area would attend schools in Roleystone.
The City of Armadale would celebrate its centenary since its start as a Roads Board in 1994. As part of the celebrations plaques and gifts were given out. Karragullen received the plaque as a school that operated in the area as well as a school that had operated in the area for many decades.
