The 2024 EN Analytics Top 100 Senior High School Rankings for the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) have been released, with Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (Presec-Legon) maintaining its dominant position at the top for the second consecutive year.
The rankings, which evaluate schools based on their performance in the NSMQ national competition, highlight shifts in Ghana’s science and mathematics education landscape. Schools earn points based on their final position in the quiz, their category classification, and their historical performance over the past 12 years.
Presec-Legon ranks first with 690 points, maintaining its position from 2023. Prempeh College follows in second place 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.
Significant regional disparities remain in the rankings. Schools from newly created regions such as Ahafo, North East, Savannah, and Western North have yet to make it into the top 100, mainly due to infrastructure and resource challenges.
