Thanks again to Mr. Darby and his team at Educate Jamaica, here now is the very latest ranking of the top high schools in Jamaica! 

Each school was measured using the percentage of their total grade 11 cohort that achieved 5 or more subjects (inclusive of both Mathematics and English at CSEC). Note also that all subjects sat prior to grad 11 (7, 8, 9 and 10) were taken into account.

But as we always say, please read with an open mind, as there are indeed a few shocking surprises for you again! Click Here to jump to the ranking.

Previous High School Rankings👇🏿

As usual, to ensure consistency, transparency and trends, we continue to show the previous rankings, in descending order, and so here they are.

In Summary👇🏿

The big wigs are there again, Campion, Immaculate, St. Andrew High, Ardenne, Wolmer's Boys etc.

And what is very refreshing is that 22 of the top 28 schools in Jamaica have showed marked improvements in their index ratings.

For example, Campion, which registered 97.5% in 2023, improved even further to be now at a perfect 100%.

In fact, all except one school in the Top 10 showed marked improvements compared to their previous rankings!

And 'out of nowhere' appeared Herbert Morrison from St. James and Merle Grove High from Kingston! 

Perhaps the biggest surprise though was Belmont Academy who didn't make this year's list, but was placed 14th last year.
