History of performance
(a) The tabulation below shows a summary of the trend of performance of the school at ‘O’ level for the last five years

U.C.E. 2019 Performance:
The 2019 U.C.E results were excellent. We presented 216 candidates for the 2019 U.C.E examinations of whom 208 scored quality first grade and 8 students scored second grade which translated into 96.29%. Our school was rated the 3rd best Academic Giant in the country. Our school average performance was 19.99 as reflected in the Saturday Vision of 1st February 2020.
In terms of the total number of students who scored the much coveted 8 aggregates in the 8 best done subjects, our school took the first position in the country, having tied with Iganga SSS and St. Mary’s SSS Kitende. We are the only three schools that had four students scoring aggregate 8 in the country. These results are a real knock-out. To all stakeholders, congratulations!

We recognise the outstanding performance of the four students, each of whom scored aggregate 8 in the 8 best done subjects. The juxtaposition of their U.C.E and P.L.E results in the table below is a clear indication of our high value addition.

The table below shows how some of our departments performed nationally as reflected by the comprehensive subject performance analysis.

We thank God that our improved performance in Biology where we were the 3rd in the whole country enabled our school to enrol five students to public universities for Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery.

Our performance in the Science subjects greatly improved. We congratulate all our 2018 candidates upon this excellent performance and for having won our school pride and all the stakeholders upon this profound achievement.
