Category A, B and C

Searchers often ask for category B schools in Western. We cannot answer that with a list, and here is why.

Ghana publishes no official list of senior high schools by category. A list on any other site is unofficial, so we do not print one. The categories page explains what A, B and C mean in school selection and gives the official counts of places.
