Top-performing independent schools in South Africa according to the 2022 matric results
Outstanding results were obtained in 2022 by a number of South African private schools whose students took the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) matric exams.
Private schools in South Africa are alluring because it is believed that the education offered there is of a higher caliber.
Due to having access to greater resources than their public counterparts, private schools frequently provide lower class sizes, more individualized attention, and access to highly skilled professors.
Their matric results appeared to reflect these changes; the IEB confirmed a pass rate of 98.42% in 2022, a modest increase over the 98.39% noted in 2021.
The final National Senior Certificate results for the 2022 matric year, on the other hand, were announced by the Department of Basic Education and show an improvement in the pass rate of 3.7 percentage points to 80.1%.
Hilton, St. Benedict’s College, and St. John’s College were the top three independent boys’ schools in terms of achievement.
St. John’s College reported 3.1 distinctions per applicant and a 100% bachelor’s pass rate.
Hilton and St. Benedict’s College each received 2.43 and 2.41 distinctions per applicant, respectively, for a 99% bachelor’s pass rate.
Comparatively speaking, Roedean, St. Cyprian’s School, and Durban Girls’ College were the top three performing girls’ schools.
All three candidates received 4.64, 3.9, and 3.7 distinctions, respectively, resulting in a 100% bachelor’s pass.
