While the global average score of all IB graduates has been 30.24 (out of a maximum of 45 points), St. Louis School students have achieved an impressive average of 36.

The highest score attained was an exceptional 44, surpassing the requirements for admission to prestigious universities such as Cambridge and Oxford

Mr. Gerry Rafferty, Executive Principal, said: “As we reflect on the most recent results for 2023, we have much to be proud of. A total of 115 students have achieved an average score of 36 points, showcasing their academic prowess and dedication to their studies. Furthermore, an impressive 30% of our students attained 38 points or more, illustrating their exceptional aptitude and commitment to excellence. It is truly inspiring to witness such remarkable achievements. The average score worldwide is indeed 30 points for 2023 across a few thousand schools. (2 points lower than last year) I would also like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the 17 students who attained 40 points or more. This is an exceptional accomplishment, and it reflects the immense effort, intellectual curiosity, and resilience demonstrated by these students throughout their academic journey.”
