    The comments are hilarious! Everyone seems to want to see their school included. I respect the comments made by the lady who said a good school is one who takes an under-performing student and passes them out at aggregate 8.

  5. oscar says

  7. paul says

    Ranking of the school should be based on
    1. The facilities availiable to facilitate quality education like lab, lib, sports centres among others
    2. Current and historical performance
    3. General conditions of leaving like accomodation, feeding among others
    4. The capacity of the school to accomodate students population
    5. Student Discipline.
    6. The product in the market. (output)
    This require a comprehensive survey to collect data other subjective opinion. if the above is taken into consideration, King’s College Budo, Ntare School, Busoge College Mwiri, St Henrys Kitovu, Nabisunsa, Makerere college and Kibuli would the real list.

  8. Agodo Timothy says

    How authentic are these rankings? How can the three best undisputed schools;St.Mary’s College Kisubi, Uganda Martyrs SSS Namugongo and Mt. St. Mary’s Namagunga not even appear?

  13. Lou bega says

    With all due respect to the authors of the article, no matter what criteria you use, you can never come up with the above list as a list of the best schools in Uganda. I thought i would use the Internet as a viable tool to get a systematic ranking of Schools in Ug.

    Using the traditional ranking system in Uganda which basically looks at the number of students passing in grade one, the top schools are publically and privately known. Kindly revise the list and explain clearly the procedure you use for ranking. The obvious names are St Matrys Namugongo, Kings Col Buddo, Gayaza Girls, Makerere Col School, Namilyango Boys, Kibuli sss, nabisunsa Girls e.t.c.

    The Top schools listed here are merely International Schools which accomodate a variety of students from diplomatic and expatriate families, they maybe good based on their categorization but not by UNEB and Ugandan standards.

  14. gillian lamunu says

    you guys amuse me.whatever criteria you use to mark “best” schools heaven knows but my idea is that the best school is one which takes a pupil with agregate 14 and passes him/her out with 8 for 8.how many of the schools listed do that?don’t they all take pupils with agregates 6 downwards? what efforts then do they put to qualify them as best schools?
    secondly, are there no “best” schools up country? you should also reason in terms of Ntare, Nabumali and Layibi.

  15. mpamizo peter says

    Uganda’s education is still lacking alot to produce the best whole round graduates. Ten top schools should include schools that have innovated alot in their school syllabus and have their graduates compete better in higher levels of academia and job market. Also rate of growth of the school in terms of academics and infrastructure is important. Most old traditional school dwell on admission of best candidates in the country to produce good results. God bless You.

  17. LUKIZA JOHANNESI says

    which criteria do u use to rank schools? do u mean top 10 as per uneb standards or according to number of years the school has been in existence?
    i never expected schools like makerere college, ntinda view, lubiri sss, lubiri high, london college(merryland),namilembe hillside,masaka sss, kibuli sss to miss. i would suggest u re-rank the schools this basing on uneb standards

  18. martin says

    I dont understand the creteria used in ranking. How could you leave out Busiro Modern Academy

  19. tonny says

    eeeeeeeh mwe what of st henrys college kitovu. we are wondering what you people consider. talk of the best and mean it pliz let it be the best according to uneb starndards. i dont mean that shack is the best but i know it should appear some where. pliz dont be taken by politics and money. still shack will shout out for its self

  21. orwell says
