These are the 20 best schools in Hungary
‘The best high school in the countryside is the Kazinczy Ferenc Secondary School from Győr, snatching the ninth place in the top 10.
It managed to get into the top ten in three categories,
although it was not first placed in either. The Fazekas Mihály Secondary School from Debrecen placed tenth, while the Lovassy Secondary School (Veszprém) would’ve needed just a bit more to get into the best ten’ – according to the publication.
There is a theological institution among the top ten, the Deák Téri Evangélikus Gimnázium, which placed fifth. The theological high schools had great results, representing 20% of the top 100 high schools.
The basis for comparison and ranking
The publication admitts that not all features of a good high school can be ranked. The aim of this list is
to use the aspects that are applicable for most of the schools
and that tend to characterise them.
In the process of collecting the best high schools, it was the 2016 results of the 10th graders’ obligatory and uniform competence tests, the results of the 2016 Spring traditional and higher level Hungarian literature and language, mathematics, history and foreign language Matura, and the average points achieved by the successful applicants at the university level entrance exams in 2016, that were taken into consideration by HVG.
