More than 8,000 students applied for just 800 spots at Aburi Girls' Senior High School (GH) in the 2026 Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS). The CSSPS Coordinator, Sherif Sulemana, revealed that out of the 8,225 candidates who selected GH, approximately 800 places are available. The competition is particularly intense among those with strong academic results, with about 3,000 candidates obtaining aggregate scores between six and 12.
Sulemana explained that in addition to aggregate scores, candidates are ranked nationally based on their raw examination scores, with programme choices and residential preferences also taken into account when matching candidates to available vacancies. This means that even students with seemingly weaker aggregate scores could potentially secure placement ahead of others based on their raw scores.
He urged candidates and parents not to rely solely on aggregate scores when expecting placement in their preferred schools.
