Last week, when I had the meetup with June (my website fan) and her daughter from Connecticut, the question came up as to the top schools in Jamaica.
And so we started a healthy discussion.
asking again about the best school to send her daughter in Jamaica.
And so today, I'm sharing with you the official ranking of the high schools in Jamaica - the most recent report!
THE TOP 100 HIGH SCHOOLS IN JAMAICA!The rankings are based on the performance of schools in obtaining five (5) or more subjects in the most recent CSEC examinations.
The figures are calculated based on each secondary school enabling their cohort at the end of their 5 years of statutory education, to leave grade 11 with a minimum of five (5) subjects which includes English and/or Mathematics in the CSEC examinations.
Well, here they are, sorted by the VERY BEST!

That said, those in the top 40 or so will always give you value for money.
