School Rank is a free, independent directory covering every one of South Africa's 25,527 public and independent schools — matric results, subjects, fees, contact details and quintile classifications, all in one place.
What we do
We publish official school-level data from the Department of Basic Education's NatEMIS master list alongside published National Senior Certificate (NSC / matric) results, so parents, learners, researchers and journalists can find and compare schools without digging through government spreadsheets.
Where our data comes from
School records (name, phase, sector, address, contact details, quintile, enrolment) are sourced from the DBE's NatEMIS master list. Matric pass rates and subject results are sourced from published NSC examination results. See our data sources page for full detail on each dataset and how often it's refreshed.
What we're not
We are not affiliated with the Department of Basic Education, any provincial education department, or any school listed on this site. We don't process applications, charge fees, or act on behalf of any school — we simply organise public data to make it easier to find. Always confirm fees, admissions and results directly with the school or the relevant department before making decisions.
