Scotland’s Secondary School League Tables
Updated for data published 2023
Scotland’s secondary schools have been ranked for 2023 according to pupil attainment in the Highers examinations at the end of the 2012-22 academic year using data recently published by the Scottish Government.
Each of the 346 secondary schools were ranked based on the percentage of students gaining a pass in five or more Highers. This measure is chosen because it is the “gold standard” measure (more properly classified as SCQF Level 6 subjects or above) according to the Scottish Government’s education department. For full methodology see below.
For a review of performance over five years ( secondary schools ranks and performance over five years: league tables showing top25, top50, improvers, decliners) please see: Scottish schools’ five year performance review
Overall Performance
Of the ranked schools, 63 had 50% or more of their pupils achieving passes in five or more Highers. This years attainment levels, based on exams taken in late spring 2022, is down from the 2020-21 school year when 81 schools had 50% or more pupils attaining five or more Higher passes.
Nine schools had 70% or more pupils reaching this gold standard of five or more highers: Jordanhill School, Bearsden Academy, St Ninian’s High School, Woodfarm High School, Douglas Academy, Cults Academy, Williamwood High School, Mearns Castle High School and Boroughmuir High School. Again this values is down from the previous year where 20 Schools had 70% or more of their pupils attaining five or more higher passes.
Twenty-eight secondary schools had less than 20% of pupils attaining passes in five or more Highers, nine more than in academic year 2020-21.
Note that the 2020-21 results were based on schools internal assessments because Covid-19 restrictions disrupted the academic year and as a result no formal examinations took place.

It is important to note that what was measured is data based on pupil performance and not school performance, nevertheless it is a strong indicator of the academic environment within the school. A number of factors such as the level of funding from the local authority, the socio-economic status of the catchment and the key skills of pupils at entry point will greatly influence the outcome for a whole school. Thus an excellent school within a deprived area may be achieving enhanced educational outcomes for its pupils but by starting from a lower base than a school from a non-deprived area it will appear to be performing less well.
Note: Please be patient waiting for the map to download as it contains a lot of detail and hence is a large size.
Catchment Area Map Showing Rank Bands and School Locations
Catchment areas are shown for local authority non-denominational schools only. Scotland’s best performing schools (band 1 the top 20% by Rank) are located in areas coloured in dark green and the lowest attainment schools (band 5 the bottom 20% by Rank) in deep purple areas (Map 1). The hover tool within the area gives the names of schools associated with each area, their ranks and the percentage of pupils awarded 5 or more highers.
Notes on School Catchment Areas
Some local authorities do not make schools’ catchment areas available (areas on the map that are not coloured) and the catchment areas for catholic schools are not shown. Catchment areas for the outer Hebrides, Orkney or Shetland Isles are complicated because of local arrangements whereby a number of island primary schools feed into secondary schools offering S1 and S4 year groups before moving on to “mainland” schools offering S5 and S6 year groups. Orange zones (Group_99) depict areas where there is no one to one link between the location and a specific school, i.e. areas where pupils have a choice of secondary school or where the secondary school accommodates pupils until stage S4 and they then move on to another secondary school to study for highers.
School Locations
Individual schools are shown on the map red circles (dark green for catholic schools). If you click on the school marker a pop-up will appear with additional information: the school name, 2023 rank, school roll, number of FTE teachers and the school website address.
Navigation
The bands are presented in layers (check box) and each attainment band can be selected individually using the check boxes.

Impact of Deprivation on Pupil Attainment
A number of factors are recognised to greatly influence the educational attainment of pupils and hence a School’s ranking. The most important of these is the impact of social deprivation within the catchment area for the school. For this post, the impact of a schools catchment deprivation level has been evaluated by comparing school performance with deprivation levels in the school’s catchment area. Deprivation data comes from the Scottish Government’s Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation which evaluates deprivation over a number of socio-economic measures (see Scotland’s Deprivation on a Map). SIMD2020 data was grouped into 10 bands where simd_d_1 represented the least deprived areas and simd_d_10 represents the most deprived areas. Using geo-mapping techniques the overlap between SIMD2020 datazones and school catchment areas was established.
The charts and tables below show for the percentage each simd2020 decile contributes to the catchment areas of schools in each grouping. Schools in the top performing 20% group (sch_1) have 26% of their catchment areas comprised of datazones from the least deprived two deciles (simd_d_1 and simd_d_2). In contrast, the lowest performing schools group (sch_5) have only 3% of their catchment area made up of areas in the least deprived two deciles (simd_d_1 and simd_d_2). Similarly, schools in the top 20% group (sch_1) have 4% of their catchment areas comprised of datazones from the most deprived two deciles (simd_d_9 and simd_d_10) whereas the lowest performing schools group (sch_5) have 15% of their catchment area made up of areas in the most deprived two deciles (simd_d_9 and simd_d_10). Mobile users: school group 3 is omitted from Table 1 for reasons of clarity and fitting the table within the screen size.

Notes on CSV File you can download:
- Secondary Schools League Table for 2023 are based on ranking results of the 2021- 2022 examinations which are published late spring early summer the following year i.e. in 2033.
- 5_And_Above: the percentage of pupils attaining five or more passes in the Highers examination.
- seven years’ ranks: rank2023 to rank2017; the ranking for the school in the examinations set in the years indicated.
- trend: a quick visual to show the trend with the most recent result first.
- Group: the schools ranks split into five groups – Group_1 representing the highest attainment level and Group_5 the lowest.
- avg_p5: the average rank in the previous five years, ignoring the most recent rank year. Used to determine the change in the schools performance in the 2023 League Tables.
- change: the position in the current year versus the previous five years average.
- no_50: the number of times the school has been in the top 50 rankings in the last five years
- no_25: the number of times the school has been in the top 50 rankings in the last five years
- The csv file also shows the LA name
- Some schools are not included in the rankings mainly because the Scottish Government removes data where small numbers of pupils are counted in order to preserve personal anonymity for the pupils attending the school.

Using the Breadth and Depth of Qualifications data for 2020-21 schools were ranked according to percentage of pupils attaining five or more highers passes. Where schools had the same percentage at that level, the number of pupils obtaining six or more passes was used to differentiate between schools (and seven or more passes where necessary).
