Students of the graduating class of 2012 of the Girls’ High School are nothing short of proud of their school’s performance in this year’s CSEC Examinations. At 12 am on Saturday, students were given access to the online database where they were able to check their scores. The CXC’s on-line release of the 2012 CSEC results for the Girls’ High School reveals an overall pass rate of 96.78%.  Twelve of the twenty-four subject areas recorded 100% passes, with the pass rates in the other twelve subjects ranging from 80% to 99%.  

 

The School’s top performers were :  Cherriane Davis with twelve passes, comprising eleven grade ones and one grade two;  Shanka Edwards – twelve passes with ten grade ones and two grade twos; La Donna Yorke – twelve passes with two grade ones, seven grade twos and three grade threes; and Khandi Gordon with eleven passes with all grade ones.

 

Twenty-two students recorded eleven passes, forty-four recorded ten passes, twenty-nine had nine passes, nineteen had eight passes, seven registered seven passes, two had six passes and three had five passes.

 

One hundred and twenty-six wrote the 2012 CSEC examinations. In an interview with Principal Andrea Bowman, she expressed that she was  “pleasantly relieved because I had anxiety which I publicly expressed.

 

The (last) performances of these girls weren’t performances to inspire confidence, particularly when you know what they’re capable of, but they really stepped up.” Bowman also emphatically declared her school’s intent to attain the 100% pass rate next year.
