The 2023 SHS Placement is expected to be released in February, but BECE graduates and parents must be wondering what the likely school choices the student may be placed in for their respective grades and raw scores.
Note that, the fact that all two or more candidates scored the same aggregate and chose the same school and programme does not guarantee that they will all be placed in the same school. The placement will often be based on the raw scores, and that will cause the students to be placed from the student with the highest raw score to the lowest for a particular school and programme until the available slots for each school or programme are exhausted.
Another reality is that not all BECE graduates who obtain let’s say aggregate 9 and chose PRESEC-Legon will be placed in that school. The program-specific competition, raw scores, accommodation choice and other factors will count. Someone may obtain 9 and choose General Arts and get placed. Another may obtain 8 and choose General Science and not get placed in the same PRESEC-Legon.
Again, during the school selection phase, the CLUSTER-based feature was introduced. Those who chose the cluster option under any category will be placed in another school in the same cluster if they are not placed in their preferred school. With this CLUSTER option, we expect that more BECE graduates will be placed in schools they did not choose. If this happens, there will be fewer students with the option to do self-placement.
Let us now take a look at the likely school choices for all aggregates during the 2023 SHS Placement
Note that, the details below may not be the case for all students, depending on the competition for the specific school and programme per school.
| Aggregate range | Possible Placement (School Category) |
| 06 to 10 | 1st Choice School Placement |
| 11 to 19 | 2nd Choice School Placement |
| 20 to 29 | 3rd and 4th Choice School Placement |
| 30 to 35 | 5th Choice School Placement |
| 36 plus | Self Placement or no school at all |
Note that students who obtained grade 9 in English or Mathematics will not be placed
Candidates whose results are pending, withheld by WAEC or cancelled will not be placed

Dear Sir/Madam, My 16years old son is a person with disability(Paraplegia).The headmaster said his medical report will be needed after the SHS school placement has been done. I just found out that the medical report should have been added to thee forms submitted. Kindly advice me on what to do. Thank you
The medical report can only be made available after placement however during the BECE registration there is an option for the school to Thick if the candidate has any medical condition which we are sure the school did for you. So take it easy.
Can people who have completed 2021 have chance to be placed in this year placement?
