The Sunday Times have ranked Scotland’s 347 state secondary schools based on exam results – and we’ve looked at the data to find the best and worst performing high schools in Edinburgh.
This annual secondary schools league table for Scotland is based on the percentage of pupils achieving the “gold standard” of five highers in the last two years. A full, searchable performance table for all Scottish state secondary schools is available via The Times website.
David McCann, deputy editor of The Times and Sunday Times Scotland, said: “By publishing this information in an accessible and fully searchable guide, we seek to empower parents with information around the performance of their local schools.”
