A research company, AB Review, has come out with a list of the best Senior High Schools in each of the ten regions in Ghana.
The rankings were done based on statistics of the schools' performances in the last five years, that is from 2011 to 2016.
Key among the indicators used by AB Review was the number of students with pass marks from A1 to C6, as well as the best average percentile of students compared to the number registered for the West African Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in the last five years.
Below are the best schools in each of the 10 regions in Ghana.
