Scotland's best secondary schools ranked in 2024 league table - see full list
05.04.2024 - 18:43 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Jordanhill has been named Scotland’s top performing high school for the seventh year running according to the newest The Times and Sunday Times Scotland High School League Table.
The long-standing record of academic excellence at the school in Glasgow - the only grant-aided institution in Scotland - has pushed other schools to try and follow in their footsteps of funding which affords its independence from council control.
Jordanhill is directly funded by the Scottish Government and is independently governed, as opposed to other schools which are funded by councils that exert more influence over where money can be spent.
The table notes that 89 per cent of Jordanhill's pupils secured five or more Highers in 2023. This is the "gold standard" of high school achievement according to the Government.
East Renfrewshire’s position as the highest-performing education authority continues, with four schools in the top ten. East Dunbartonshire has three schools in the top ten and six in the top 20.
Bearsden Academy, in East Dunbartonshire, retained its position in second place with 81 per cent of pupils hitting the standard of five or more highers. Mearns Castle High School in East Renfrewshire, moved into third place with an increase from 73 to 80 per cent in the number of pupils achieving five highers.
Boclair Academy, also in East Dunbartonshire, is the highest new entry in the top ten, rising ten places to sixth.
Linlithgow Academy - in West Lothian - has reclaimed a place in the top ten for the first time since 2016 - with 70 per cent of pupils getting five higher grades.
Boroughmuir High was the top performing school in the capital. Around one in four pupils in Edinburgh go to private schools which are not part of this list. Cults
