Sig­nal Hill Gov­ern­ment Pri­ma­ry School has emerged as To­ba­go’s top per­form­ing school in the 2025 Sec­ondary En­trance As­sess­ment (SEA), pro­duc­ing three of the is­land’s five high­est scor­ers.

In a state­ment con­grat­u­lat­ing all SEA stu­dents on their sec­ondary school place­ment, the Di­vi­sion of Ed­u­ca­tion, Re­search and Tech­nol­o­gy said the re­sults re­flect the ded­i­ca­tion of stu­dents, par­ents, teach­ers and school lead­ers across the is­land.

“This mile­stone marks not just the cul­mi­na­tion of years of pri­ma­ry school­ing but the ex­cit­ing be­gin­ning of a brand-new chap­ter filled with promise, growth, and op­por­tu­ni­ty,” the Di­vi­sion said.

The top five pri­ma­ry schools, ranked by av­er­age SEA per­for­mance, are Sig­nal Hill Gov­ern­ment, Buc­coo Gov­ern­ment, Bethes­da Gov­ern­ment, St Nicholas Pri­ma­ry and Black Rock Gov­ern­ment.

To­ba­go’s five high­est-ranked SEA stu­dents are Seyshel­ley Dun­can, Khylie Charles and Dmar­cus Wal­cott, all from Sig­nal Hill Gov­ern­ment; Za­yd Ew­ing from St Nicholas Pri­ma­ry; and Je’Niyah Wal­dron from Scar­bor­ough Ro­man Catholic.

The Di­vi­sion said it would host a spe­cial event to ho­n­our these stu­dents and schools in the com­ing days, with de­tails to be an­nounced.

Sec­re­tary of Ed­u­ca­tion Zor­isha Hack­ett will al­so host a press con­fer­ence at 2:00 PM on Mon­day 7th Ju­ly at the Di­vi­sion’s Dutch Fort Plaza of­fice to dis­cuss the re­sults. A vir­tu­al link will be pro­vid­ed for me­dia un­able to at­tend in per­son.
