Prince Edward Pass Rate
Prince Edward School, one of Zimbabwe’s prestigious boys' high schools, has seen fluctuating academic performances in recent years.
While the school is widely regarded for its rich history and cultural achievements, it has struggled to consistently secure a top spot in the national rankings for O-Level and A-Level results.
For instance, PE did not make it into the top 100 A-Level schools in Zimbabwe in recent rankings from 2024 and 2020.
At the O-Level, Prince Edward School's academic performance has also seen variations over the years. The school was notably absent from the top 100 rankings for 2020 and 2024.
Despite its reputation, it faces stiff competition from other top-performing schools across the country, including institutions that have consistently ranked high for their outstanding pass rates.
However, PE remains an institution of national pride, excelling in extracurricular activities, sports, and leadership development.
Although its academic pass rates may not have placed it among the top 100 in recent years, the school’s emphasis on holistic education continues to be a significant draw for students and parents alike.
