Toheeb says
Dis is a crazy article. The best school in Nigeria is definitely 1. G.C.I (GOVERMENT COLLEGE IBADAN). 2. KINGS COLLEGE LAGOS. 3. AMERICAN EMBASSY LAGOS. 4. QUEEN SCHOOL IBADAN. 5. BIRO INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
lateef victor says
I think baptist boys high school should also be among those schools listed above because the school is a grate school,former president olusegun obasanjo was also a graduate of that school,the late fela anikulapo was also a graduate of BBHS nd some of the governor like otunba gbenga daniel[ogun state]these people have good grades from that school.I know they can never forget the school motto which is NULLI SECONDUS which means SECOND TO NONE
okoroji nosa cjinedu says
LOL!!! I luv the best skool nd the first C.M.S grammar school… We are every wer even my Assistant SP micheal ike knws his root !!!!!!!!! Plenty love for the boiz !!!!
Femi Ogundoro says
The International School University of Ibadan is a center of excellence where disciplined and outstanding students are being produced.Alumni of the school cut across major countries of the world and are making waves in their various careers including Dr. Okonjo Iwella, current Finance Minister. The school is blessed with adequately qualified staff members and world class facilities. The students have won both national and international awards.It is my considered opinion that ISI deserves to be among the best ten secondary schools in Nigeria.
Iyke Jeremy says
y’all shld stop BRAGGING abt ur DAMN school…CMS GRAMMAR SCHOOL…a place to be
Bishop Michael Ike says
Heyyyyyy…..now everybody shut up!!!!C.M.S Grammar School is the first and the best….so,u haters who published names of DRY SCHOOLS,should endeavour to calculatively put the most outstanding school’s name….no other than the C.M.S. Grammar School,Lagos….where fountains of water flow….without entertaining fake drynesssss…..
Rotimi Edu says
Let’s not be shallow minded people, the name of this oage is top 10 secondary schools in Nigeria, meaning only ten schools will be there so not everyone”s secondary school will be there. Besides, because a school isn’t here does not mean it is not still a good school, there are many other good schools not in this list.
NINA ADELUSI says
WELL DONE
shade says
st marys is to be no 1
angelica says
lagoon is to be no1
Mayowa says
Most of these schools are good, but I think Grange should be higher as they not only offer a world class education to students, but offer a lot of enlightenment to pupils and teachers that cannot be found in other schools.
Mayowa Aroluwaju says

STEPHANIE OSAJI says
I WANT TO BELIEVE THIS RANKING IS NOT TRUE ENOUGH.SCHOOLS LIKE LAGOS STATE MODEL COLLEGE KANKON AND ST FINBARRS AKOKA IS NOT THERE.LET THIS BE PROPERLY LOOKED INTO.
Salako Sunmbo says
Most people are just mentioning names of secondary schools in Lagos and other cities, without looking at the nitty-gritty of those secondary schools. . . . .my own view of it with what have seen is that EJIGBO BAPTIST HIGH SCHOOL should be among the list. I’m not saying is the best but is much better.
codeman says

One of the top, best all round schools in Nigeria has to be ST&T Regency International, the college offers scholarship, also provides academic, spiritual ethical guide to see students like me through life locally and internationally. GRA, Ikeja Lagos

WHY ISNT INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL,UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS PART OF THE FIRST 10
Orlamide says
I say hi to everyone.will harvard university admission office ask for the ‘O’level result when processing their admissions?I was to told they wouldn’t,is it true?
Ademola Adelekan says
As a teacher, I honestly do not think we have enough data to determine the best schools in Nigeria. Simply put, Nigeria is not a data-gathering, data-processing country. Now, talking about performance in external exams (WAEC, NECO etc.), only schools with consistent outstanding results ought to be mentioned. (A school like LJC, for example, deserves mention.) This is because many private schools nowadays go to any length to make their students pass such exams. One of such schools was recently listed as having one of the best results in WAEC in Nigeria. I showed the newspaper to my colleagues in the staff room and…the rest is better imagined. Instead of talking about ‘best’ or ‘top’ schools, let’s rather focus on good ones. The facilities play a good part, but I think the true determinant is the impact such a school has on individual wards. When the school flaunts their ‘facilities’, you focus on the teachers. Do they look happy, fulfilled…or do they look demoralised, dejected and cheated? In the end, it’s the teachers that make or mar any school.
stunnerwitdalton says
i reli fink BABMINGTON MACAULY JUNIOR SEMINARY Should be on dat list
Tijani Adetayo says
I tink Day Walterham schools shud be included.
Dharmie babs says

Adekunle says
Ambassadors college ile ife should be taken into consideration dont be biased, it should not be based on popularity.
Femi says

faminu akin says

Abiola Adebiyi says
schools like BIS, AIS, CIS and DWC. this schools are one of the best in nigeria and they are part of the very few secondary schools in the council of interntional schools in nigeria.
Abiola Adebiyi says
this list has a problem. some schools that deserve to be here are not here the newly established day waterman college deserves to be among this list. Afterall i have friends who move from greensprings to the named school above pls research on the schools well. Late MD of GT bank built te school and you dont rank a school only by academics.
mayokun says
