The demand for secondary education has increased as a result of high completion rates at the Junior high School level. In response to this, several new public schools have been provided, whilst facilities in existing schools have been upgraded.
Trends in school placement from the Computer Schools Selection and Placement System (CSSPS)
indicate some disparity in the selection of schools. Students overwhelmingly choose the popular but few traditionally high-performing schools thereby leading to oversubscription of these schools.
Many schools that have significantly improved in recent years remain unknown and undersubscribed.
We believe that this anomaly is partly due to the lack of information available to students and parents.

DESCRIPTION

The School was established in 1979 by the Logba Youth Association and named Logba Agricultural Secondary School (LASEC). The school was absorbed into the Public system in January 1992. In October 1996 the school was renamed Jim Bourton Memorial Agricultural Secondary School in appreciation of the good work and sacrifices of the late Jim Bourton. The school attained a boarding status in 2008. To broaden the scope of learning and access, General Arts, Business Accounting, Visual Arts, and Home Economics have been added to the initial Agricultural Programme run in the school. The school is located on the main Accra-Hohoe road. It is about 45 kilometers from Hohoe.
