Ghana's Presec-Legon Tops National Academic Rankings Again

Ghana's brightest students are proving that academic excellence thrives when schools commit to long-term achievement. Presec-Legon has once again claimed the top spot in the nation's prestigious National Science and Maths Quiz rankings, scoring 715 points and showing that sustained excellence is possible.

The 2025 EN Analytics Top 100 Rankings evaluated 260 senior high schools across Ghana, measuring not just one year's performance but over a decade of achievement. Prempeh College secured second place with 645 points, while Mfantsipim School climbed to third with 615 points.

This isn't just about quiz scores. The competition tests critical thinking, teamwork, and the ability to solve complex problems under pressure, skills that will serve these students throughout their lives.

The ranking system looks at four key factors: how far schools advance in the national competition, their final placement, their Ghana Education Service category, and their historical performance from 2013 to 2024. This approach rewards both current success and the kind of consistent excellence that transforms entire communities.

The Ripple Effect

These rankings are changing how families across Ghana make educational decisions. Parents now have clear data to guide their children toward schools with proven track records of academic success.

The competition is also lifting schools that are newer to the spotlight. Pope John's Seminary in Koforidua and Osei Tutu SHS in Akropong both showed significant improvement, proving that any school can rise through dedication and smart preparation.

Schools like KETASCO, St. Peter's Nkwatia, St. Augustine's College, and Accra Academy maintained their positions in the top 10, demonstrating that excellence can become part of a school's culture. When students see their seniors succeed year after year, they understand that achievement is within their reach too.

The rankings guide more than just student admissions. They help educational institutions identify best practices and foster healthy competition that ultimately benefits every student in Ghana's education system.

Ghana's commitment to celebrating academic achievement is building a generation ready to tackle the complex challenges of tomorrow.
