In this report, The Pearl Times looks at the list of top 300 best performing PLE 2025 schools in Buganda (Central Uganda) region in all municipalities and districts.
All Buganda districts are on the list, including Bukomansimbi, Buvuma, Entebbe Municipality, Gomba, Kalangala, Kampala Capital City, Kira Municipality, Kyotera, Lugazi Municipality, Luweero, Lwengo, and Lyantonde.

The basis for the rankings of 300 Best Performing Schools in Buganda (Central Uganda) in PLE 2025 is the number of first grades as a percentage of the entire class. Schools with 100 per cent first grades rank atop others in the district, municipality or city.
The lower the rate (the percentage), the lower the ranking; and the higher the percentage, the higher the ranking.
