Last year, the percentage of top performers was 72.8.

Meanwhile, at the CSEC level, 62.7% of students received passing grades, compared to 65.3% last year. 

In 2022, 53.05% of the students writing 5 or more CSEC subjects were successful in 5 or more subjects, compared to 54.1% in 2021.

Further, 43.66%  of the students who attempted five or more subjects inclusive of Mathematics and English A were successful; the figure for 2021 stood at 46.5% students.
