Mt.St.Marys Namagunga is the best school in Uganda for their quality Education.

kigezi high school is among the top ten
Where is Mary hill in Mbarara District in among 10 top schools
KING’S COLLEGE BUDO is by far the best school in the country and has managed to mantain this ‘brand’ of society’s elite and ‘cream dela cream’ for over 100 years now.SMACK,NAMAGUNGA,GAYAZA,NABISUNSA complete my top 5.Unethical,disgraceful schools like Kitende,Seeta with traits and rumour of exam malpractice for their good performance should be nowhere ih this list!!!!!!!!!
I AM WALAKA POSIANO FORMER STUDENT OF JICO. UGANDA MARTYRS,NAMUGONGO IS THE BEST
Mandela secondary school in Hoima with time it will be ranked the best since it has maintained the performance without declining and with conducive environment for studies and cogs to all to teachers and parents who made their effort to educate the Ugandan’s of tomorrow
do you consider academic perfomance or other things. but even thou you are to connsider anything, Mbarara High school should be among the top 10 for heaven’s sake.
Where is st. mary’s kitende
Am greatfull 4 Ntare School being among the best n prominent i luv ma skul…..
NAWEEEEeeeeeeehhhhhhh……….SMACK RULES
I believe Busoga College Mwiri is still the best school in this country, carrying on with a tradition long legacy up to the present day even with droves of circustances hindering its wellbeing
But to me i think Busoga College Mwiri is still the best school in Uganda. Then i do thank those observers for collecting wrong information about schools in Uganda,[ KULWA KATONDA NE GWANGA LYAFFE]
hey i think nabisunsa riles coz no sch takes co curriculum activities in practice seriously n still tops on da tabls its all round so i think she RULES
Nabisunsa girls’ school wil always be second to non
its unthinkable that smack didn’t top that list because i know non of the schools ahead of it can be compared to it in all aspects,from academics to sports to infrastracture,name it.SMACK is in a class of its own
i think katikamu SDA WOBULENZI AMONG THE TOP 10 SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY
haa u gays Gombe is one of the best schools in ug
Am not satisfied with the survey wat criterion is used to identify these schools and wat factors a considered?op its not only academic performance.
Namugongo should really be the best school, they got it all going.
Good rankings!! but i was perplexed not to see any Mukono school e.g Hilton High or Seeta. I thought the one of best schools in the country contain a good number of international students. Their Culture and values are also tremendous when it comes to modern academic demands.
Thanks for including Mbarara High School.They performed very well last year.The infrastructure of the school has greatly improved.The discipline of the students is at its best.The staff is well trained. I think they deserved it.
The Mighty Nabisunsa, with its composed dignified young ladies, we should all salute her because she is the “QUEEN OF AFRICA” I love u Nabisunsa.” YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW”
i think jico is the best coz it has all facilities and it’s ma scool as well as patispating in all co-ocurricular activities.
waaaaaaaaaaah you people should get serious how & when has mwirieva won jico shaa JICO is de best
i have seen most schools teach students how to pass but there is no school that has imparted skills and morals in its studentslike MENGO SENIOR SCHOOL. i think mengo should be ranked number one.
no, no St. Kalemba Nazigo s.s.s is among the best 10 schools in Uganda.
What u people don’t know is our school Kasubi.s.s is among the best schools in Kampala. May be in number 5

Namugongo congs without beefaz w’d b no wea
good schools continue to perform outstandingly because they look out for the cream at all levels, they therefore have no problems dealing with low attainers, make the poor the best, and you will deserve the prize.
IF REASONABLY SLOTS OF THE TOP SCHOOLS
WERE TO BE AWARDED THEN THE ONLY PERSON WHO WOULD DENY ST PAUL’S SEMINARY KABALE WOULD BE A LAUGHING STOCK! FORGET ABOUT THE CREAM ISSUE.
leave 2 remember the Great Namugongo thanks to all the teachers for the close attachment to God
Hi! Guys, as for me I thinck Kitende is the best school in Uganda.
I note that the entries for Trinity College Nabbingo & Ntale High school are confusing: these are government ( public) schools and not, as indicated….A private girls school in wakiso!
