2017 S4 results: All 2594 schools ranked

This a ranking off all the 2594 schools that offered candidates for the 2017 Uganda Certificate of Education (Ordinary Level/Senior Four) examinations.

The ranking is based, primarily, the proportion of candidates passing in first division, then second division up to fourth division, as the best represents the chance of a student passing in a given division in a particular school.

For rankings based on other criteria, see UCE: Namugongo, Budo, Kitovu top sciences .

Where schools had the same share of students passing in the same division, for example for schools with 100 percent of their candidates passing in division one, we considered the quality of the grades, represented by the  average aggregate score.

Based on this criteria, these are the top S4 schools in Uganda, in order of rank: The Academy St. Lawrence, Budo (Wakiso); Mt. St. Mary's, Namagunga (Mukono); Seeta High School (Mukono); St. Joseph's Secondary School, Naggalama (Mukono); Seeta High School Green Campus (Mukono); London College of St. Lawrence (Wakiso); Jinja Progressive Secondary School Annex (Jinja) and Notre Dame Academy, Buseesa (Kibaale), all of which had all their candidates passing in first division (see below for complete list).

At the other end of the spectrum, Bumasobo Secondary School (Bulambuli); Bukandula Secondary School (Gomba); St. John's Secondary School, Ikumba (Kabale); St. Paul Comp. Secondary School, (Katakwi) and Jangokoro Seed Secondary School (Zombo) had no candidate in first, second, third or fourth division, meaning all their candidates failed.

It should be noted that some schools achieve high pass rates by preventing "weak" candidates from registering for exams, or by registering them from alternative centres. This is especially the case with private schools that have multiple examination centres. In this case, you will find one school centre performing well while the associated centre doesn't perform that well. This ranking does not consider this and other dubious tricks played by certain schools.
