EN Analytics releases 2024 ranking of top 100 Senior High Schools

EN Analytics, a Ghanaian analytics firm that provides consulting, training and database management and also creates rankings for Second cycle schools has released the ranking of the top 100 Senior High Schools.

In a statement sighted by Pretertiary.com, EN Analytics said the 2024 edition of the Second Cycle Schools ranking is based on the schools’ performance in the National Science and Math Quiz (NSMQ) produced by Primetime Limited.

According to the Analytics firm, the top 100 Senior High Schools ranking for the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) competition is based on data from 229 Senior High Schools across the sixteen regions of Ghana.

“Our ranking is globally accepted and universally trusted by students, teachers, government institutions and the general public.

It has become the gold standard and the main source of reference for students seeking admission into secondary education in Ghana

The 2024 rankings EN Analytics reveal how the landscape for mathematics and science education in Ghana is
shifting.

The ranking model is based on a school’s final position in the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) at the national level and the Category of the school.

This year’s methodology has been significantly updated so that any school that qualifies for the national competition is automatically included in the ranking,” the Ghana-based Analytics company said in the statement.

Presbyterian Boys Secondary School (PRESEC) – Legon ranked first with 690 points, maintaining its position from 2023. Prempeh College placed second position with 620 points, also holding its previous ranking.

Adisadel College remains third with 572 points. Mfantsipim School, after an outstanding performance in this year’s NSMQ, moves up from fifth to fourth place with 515 points, while Opoku Ware School drops from fourth to fifth with 470 points.

Keta Senior High Technical School (KETASCO) remains in sixth place with 462.5 points. St. Peter’s Senior High School follows in seventh place with 380 points. St. Augustine’s College makes a notable jump from twelfth to eighth place, scoring 345 points.

Accra Academy retains its ninth-place ranking with 345 points, while St. Thomas Aquinas Senior High School drops slightly to tenth place with 344 points.

Mfantsipim School clinched the 2024 NSMQ trophy, defeating top contenders like Prempeh College, Presec-Legon, and St. Augustine’s College. Their victory propelled them from 5th to 4th place in the rankings.

St. Augustine’s College made history by securing a place in the top 10 for the first time since 2021, ranking 8th nationally and 3rd regionally in the Central Region.

The Central Region dominated this year’s NSMQ, with six schools reaching the quarter-finals, four making it to the semi-finals, and two (Mfantsipim School and St. Augustine’s College) advancing to the finals.

Apam Senior High School recorded the biggest upward movement, rising 19 places from 71st in 2023 to 52nd in 2024. Mpraeso Senior High School moved from 84th to 70th, while St. John’s School, Sekondi, improved from 65th to 52nd.

“There are significant regional disparities as schools from the newly created regions lack the infrastructure and facilities to compete. Since our rankings began in 2021, no school from Ahafo, North East, Savannah and Western North has made it into the top 100 rankings,” EN noted in its statement.
