These schools have been carefully selected based on their performance over the years in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), student discipline, facilities, and co-curricular achievements.

GES has advised students and parents to consider their academic strengths and career interests when choosing a school. They also encouraged students not to focus only on Category ‘A’ schools, as many Category ‘B’ and ‘C’ schools are also doing very well.
The 2025 school placement exercise is part of the Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS), which ensures transparency and fairness in school admissions across the country.
