Presec-Legon tops 2025 NSMQ rankings as EN Analytics releases Top 100 Schools

The 2025 EN Analytics Top 100 Senior High School rankings for the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) have been published, spotlighting the academic achievements of some of Ghana’s top-performing students and schools.

Compiled from an in-depth assessment of 260 senior high schools nationwide, the ranking is widely seen as a trusted reference for students seeking admission into top secondary institutions.

Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School maintained its lead as the best-performing school with 715 points, followed by Prempeh College with 645 points. Mfantsipim School climbed to third place with 615 points, while Adisadel College dropped from third to fourth with 597 points. Opoku Ware School completed the top five with 530 points.

According to EN Analytics, the rankings are determined using four main factors: how far schools progress at the national stage of the NSMQ, their final contest positions, their classification by the Ghana Education Service, and their track record in the competition from 2013 to 2024.

This approach, the organisation explains, provides a balanced and reliable evaluation by considering both recent performance and long-term consistency.

“The NSMQ is more than a quiz; it is a platform that showcases intellectual depth, critical thinking, teamwork, and the ability to solve complex problems under pressure,” EN Analytics stated.

“Our rankings reflect not only proficiency in science and mathematics but also the holistic academic strength of participating schools.”

Among other standout schools, Keta Senior High Technical School held onto sixth position, while St. Peter’s Senior High School, St. Augustine’s College, and Accra Academy remained within the top 10.

The rankings also highlighted rising institutions such as Pope John Senior High School and Minor Seminary and Osei Tutu Senior High School, both of which recorded notable improvements in their NSMQ performances.

Overall, the EN Analytics Top 100 list continues to serve as a benchmark for measuring academic excellence in Ghana, helping guide parents, students, and schools while promoting healthy competition across the education sector.
