Logo of some SHS whose students are expected to excel in the WASSCE
It’s that time again where final year students in the various Senior High Schools (SHS) prepare for the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
For most students, this is the time to show that their three years spent at SHS was never a waste of time as they prepare to undertake their final exams.
For parents, too, this is the time where they expect their wards to come out with flying colours and to prove that the money spent on them has not gone waste.
But to be honest, the grades of most SHS students will largely be dependent on the schools they attend.
Students of an A-listed school are more likely to record higher pass marks as compared to those rates as B or C schools.
As a result, there are some SHS schools whose students rarely fail in the WASSCE exams due to the quality of education that they enjoy as well as a number of other factors.
Here are 10 schools whose students will definitely ‘blow’ the WASSCE exams:
1. Achimota SHS
The Achimota Senior High School is one of the highly rated senior high schools in the country.
The school boasts of some of the best teachers you can find, and as a result, most of their students usually pass the WASSCE.
Students of Achimota topped the 2016 WASSCE after recording a 100% pass, which had most of the students getting ones in all subjects, and this year is expected to be very much the same.
2. PRESEC Legon

4. Opoku Ware
The Opoku Ware Senior High School is definitely the best school in the Ashanti region, and in Ghana as a whole.
