UACE Results 2025: Best Performing Schools Per Subject

The results of the 2025 Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) examinations are out, and the data paints a vivid picture of academic excellence across the country’s leading secondary schools. Published in the Daily Monitor, the subject-by-subject breakdown reveals which schools consistently produced the strongest performances across Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Economics, and other key disciplines.

Dominating the rankings once again are familiar names — St Mary’s Secondary School Kitende, Uganda Martyrs SS Namugongo, King’s College Budo, Mengo SS, and St Andrea Kahwa’s College Hoima — schools that have long been synonymous with academic achievement in Uganda. Their strength lies not just in producing a handful of top students, but in sustaining high performance across large candidate numbers, a true measure of institutional quality.

Amus College School in Bukedea stands out as a remarkable performer in science and technical subjects, while girls’ schools such as Immaculate Heart Girls School, Nabisunsa Girls’ School, and Gayaza High School continue to demonstrate that female-only institutions remain among the country’s finest.

The data also highlights the growing competitiveness of schools outside Kampala, with institutions from Lira, Mbarara, Hoima, and Bukedea increasingly holding their own against the capital’s long-established giants.

As students and parents digest these results, the numbers offer more than just rankings — they reflect years of hard work by teachers, administrators, and students across the country.
