Previous High School Rankings

But who were the best? To review the rankings from the previous, click the links below.

How Are They Awarded?

According to the president of Educate Jamaica, the think tank that publishes this prestigious awards, the "Ivy League Ranking speaks to the performance of schools delivering on 50% or more of their students obtaining 5 or more CSEC passes (including Mathematics and/or English) for the entire cohort."

He indicate that they looked at "each school and calculate the percentage of students, at the end of grade 11, achieving a minimum of 5 CSEC subjects (including Mathematics and/or English) and based on the percentage obtained they are ranked."

It is critical to note however that the percentage of students is calculated based on the cohort and not sittings.  They also took into account the students who achieved passes in their subject (s) prior to grade 11, that is grad 7-10.

The Awards Go To...

But just before I share and final awards, two quick things...

  1. A big salute (again) to the team at Educate Jamaica for the wonderful work they did, and continues to do.

    I can only imagine the effort that goes into this sort of exercise! Well done again team!
  2. I've taken the time to categorize the results to make it a bit easier for you.

The Overall Best - The Top 10

2018 top high schools in Jamaica - top 10

So it's clear, the top school in the island from this report, remains Campion College - two years in a row! Immaculate remains solid at #2.

The biggest movers in the island, certainly in the top 10 are Knox College and Mount Alvernia High, gaining eleven and twelve places to be at #5 and #6 respectively - both rural area schools!
