A Closer Look at the Methodology
The EN Analytics rankings are more than just a snapshot of this year’s performances; they reflect cumulative success in the NSMQ since 2013. Schools earn their spots based on competition points derived from their progress in the NSMQ, with additional considerations for category-based disparities. For instance, schools in non-category A groups can earn extra points for advancing beyond certain stages, recognizing their effort to overcome infrastructure challenges.
Key Highlights of 2024 Rankings
- Regional Disparities: While the Central Region schools dominated the competition, regions like Ahafo, North East, Savannah, and Western North still struggle to break into the national rankings due to infrastructure and resource gaps.
- Significant Movers: Apam SHS made a remarkable leap from 71st in 2023 to 52nd in 2024. Mpraeso SHS and St. John’s School, Sekondi, also recorded impressive upward movements.
- St. Augustine’s College Makes History: For the first time since the rankings began, St. Augustine’s College broke into the national top 10, an achievement fueled by their exceptional NSMQ journey.
- Central Region Dominance: This region led the charge with six schools reaching the quarterfinals and two schools in the finals. Mfantsipim School’s dramatic victory over top contenders like Prempeh College and Presec-Legon stands out as a defining moment.
