Cut-Off Points for Category B Schools (2026 Guide)

Category B schools are still very competitive and offer strong academic performance, but they are generally more accessible than Category A schools. If your goal is to get into a good school without the extreme competition of the top tier, this is where smart choices matter most.

Important Note (GES Policy)

The Ghana Education Service (GES) does not use fixed cut-off points for placement. Instead, placement depends on:

Your raw score and aggregate
School demand and competition
Programme choice and availability

So think of the ranges below as realistic benchmarks, not official limits.

High-Demand Category B Schools

Examples: Popular regional schools and well-performing boarding schools
Estimated Cut-Off: Aggregate 10 – 18
These schools can be almost as competitive as some Category A schools.
Standard Category B Schools
Majority of Category B schools fall here
Estimated Cut-Off: Aggregate 15 – 24
Good balance between quality and accessibility.

Technical & Vocational Category B Schools

Includes Technical Institutes and skills-based schools
Estimated Cut-Off: Aggregate 18 – 30
Often more flexible and practical-focused

Raw Score Insight (2026 Trend)

A raw score of around 350+ generally gives you a strong chance for Category B placement
Lower scores may still gain placement depending on choices and availability

How Category B Placement Really Works

Your placement is not just about your aggregate. The system also considers:

Your school choices (1st to 6th choice)
Boarding vs Day selection
Available space in each school
Competition from other candidates

For example:

Aggregate 6–10 → Likely first-choice placement
Aggregate 11–19 → Often second-choice
Aggregate 20–29 → May fall to third/fourth choice

Smart Tip for Category B Selection

Category B schools are where strategy wins:

If your aggregate is 10–15, include at least 2 strong Category B schools
If your aggregate is 16–24, focus mostly on Category B
If your aggregate is 25+, mix in Category C + Technical schools

Final Insight

Category B schools are not “second best”—many of them:

Produce excellent WASSCE results
Have strong discipline and facilities
Offer better placement chances than oversubscribed Category A schools

In 2026, with increased competition and school upgrades, a well-chosen Category B school can be your smartest move.
