The 2025 EN Analytics Senior High School Rankings have once again provided deep insight into Ghana’s academic landscape, highlighting not only long-established Category A powerhouses but also Category B schools that continue to punch above their weight in science and mathematics.
Category B schools play a critical role in Ghana’s secondary education system. Despite relatively fewer resources compared to Category A institutions, several Category B schools have consistently demonstrated exceptional performance in the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) and sustained academic excellence over time.
Based on cumulative NSMQ performance since 2013— with greater emphasis on recent results—here are the Top 5 Category B Senior High Schools in Ghana for 2025, according to EN Analytics.

1. Keta Senior High Technical School (KETASCO)
KETASCO stands tall as the best Category B school in Ghana for 2025, ranking an impressive 6th nationally. Widely respected for its strong science and technical orientation, KETASCO has become a consistent force in the NSMQ, regularly competing with Category A giants.
