For the first time in the history of the school, Mayflower Preparatory School, Bastonaa has been ranked the best school in Tema Municipality based on the 2008 B.E.C.E results.

The school continues to improve on it performance every year. When our first batch of candidates wrote their B.E.C.E in 2006, most of the students did well; our worst aggregate being 14. At the time, the school placed 14^th in the ranking of the best basic school in Tema Municipality.

The second batch also did marvelously well, our worst aggregate was 08, and we were ranked the 3^rd best school in Tema and the 20^th best school in Ghana.

With all our candidates obtaining aggregate six at the last B.E.C.E, it was no surprise that we have been ranked the first. Journey to this point has taken a lot of hard work and sacrifice. Our record in mathematics and Integrated Science has been one of the best in the past three years.

When the school was established, the proprietor sole wish was that students who passed through the walls of the school excel in their final exams, have confidence in Mathematics, Science and English. He even tagged the school “science school”, being the only school that offers physics, chemistry and biology at the J.H.S level.

Questions parents asked during the second PTA meeting was “can the school maintain this position next year?”

Since the inception of the ranking system about eight years ago, no school has defended the title and we are planning to break that record. I pray that almighty God gives us life to offer our little quota to the community.
