Best Performing SHS In Ghana According To WAEC

Ghana can boast of having the best senior high schools in West Africa. Each year, WAEC ranks senior high schools based on their performances at the WASSCE. Currently, WAEC has released the list of best performing Senior High Schools (SHS) in Ghana.

These senior high schools represent a pinnacle of academic excellence and are often the most sought-after choices during the school selection and placement process for Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates.

Contrary to popular expectations, renowned institutions such as Presec Legon, Achimota SHS, and Prempeh College surprisingly did not secure positions within the top ten. This revelation highlights the presence of lesser-known SHSs that have excelled academically and deserve recognition for their outstanding achievements.

The announcement of these rankings underscores the relentless dedication and hard work exhibited by students, educators, and school administrators across the nation. It celebrates the remarkable accomplishments of schools that have consistently upheld rigorous academic standards, fostering an environment conducive to academic excellence and student success.
