The Times have recently released their list of the top performing schools in Scotland, taking into consideration the amount of pupils achieving the Scottish Government's "gold standard" of five Highers in 2021. With Boroughmuir making the top ten list, we looked at some of the standout performers in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Boroughmuir, having nailed down ninth position in 2021, returned strong and maintained the same spot in 2022. However, the main talking point from the list is that there has been a change in the Edinburgh school that finished second in the list.
In 2021, James Gillespie's High School finished in a strong 15th position. This year, they slipped all the way down to 26th on the list, in the process being overtaken by The Royal High School, who stole their 15h position.
