School rankings
The best schools in Uganda, by the 2025 results.
Deterministic league tables built from the 2025 UNEB release, primary and secondary, across PLE, UCE and UACE. Each table is ranked on published national position, not opinion, and every row links to the full school profile.
PLE · UCE · UACE Ranked by merit onlyUNEB 2025
How this is ranked. Schools are ordered by their UNEB 2025 national position for the selected exam, Division-1 rate for PLE and UCE, average principal points for UACE. A subscription buys a badge, never a higher place.
