Belmont Academy, the eight-year-old public school in Westmoreland, has outpaced high schools established over a century ago making the biggest leap on the latest secondary school ranking.
The high school ranking is calculated by the local think tank, Educate Jamaica, is based on the number of grade-eleven students who passed at least five subjects, including mathematics and/or English language in the 2016 Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate exams.
Campion College has been restored to its peak position a year after it was overtaken by Immaculate Conception High.
