Educate Jamaica High School Academic Rankings have been released and Immaculate Conception, St. Andrews for girls and Wolmers girls sits comfortably in the top five.

Schools were ranked by all students passing five subjects or more, including Math and English.

Immaculate Conception scored an impressive 98.8 per cent to be the top school and is followed by Campion College which scored 97.5 per cent to hold the number 2 position.

St Andrew High then scored 93 per cent and Wolmer’s Girls 92.4 per cent for 3rd and 4th respectively.

According to Ainsworth Darby, Chairman of Educate Jamaica, “The COVID pandemic had a disastrous effect on the performance of many of our traditional top-performing schools, so much so that only 27 schools were included in the rankings, by virtue of having over 50 per cent of their students passing five subjects with both Math and English.”

He added that schools such as Immaculate, Campion College, St Andrew High for Girls, Wolmers’ Girls, Montego Bay High, and Ardenne High appeared seemingly unscathed by COVID, a fact that he attributes to the strong teaching and learning systems in place prior to the pandemic.
