2021 Top 10 Best Performing Secondary Schools in Trinidad and Tobago

It is that time again! Time to select what secondary school you would like your child to go to in Trinidad and Tobago.  Parents who have children who are sitting SEA have to select the top four schools they would like their child to attend in September.  The Ministry of Education uses these choices to attempt to place each child into a secondary school based on their SEA results.  If no place is available in the four schools then the Ministry of Education places the child in a secondary school which is close to their place of residence that has an available place, commonly called “Zoning”. This system, while not ideal, exists in many parts of the US, Europe, Africa and Latin America.

The question of what schools to put and what order is a common point of discussion and stress for parents every year.  In this article we will try to explain some of the key points that you should be thinking about in the selection and placement. This is based on our understanding of the current system as of 2017-2018 year. (Update we have also included 2019 scores)
