The most complete league table of 2026 IB Diploma results across Hong Kong international schools, updated as schools report.
Last updated: 11 August 2026. Unofficial, based on schools’ self-reported average IBDP scores. We update this page as each Hong Kong school publishes, and as figures are revised after official IB reviews and re-marks, so it is worth checking back.
Results from the May 2026 IB Diploma examinations were released to schools on Sunday 5 July and to students on Monday 6 July. Hong Kong has once again ranked among the strongest IB jurisdictions in the world. The city’s 2026 average came in at 37.02 across 2,912 candidates, an 11% larger cohort than last year, well above the global average of 30.88.
School-by-school results are now in, and Hong Kong’s top schools have posted a strong year. St Paul’s Co-educational College again leads the city with a record average of 42.6 and 6 perfect 45s. Victoria Shanghai Academy has set a school record of 39.1 with 10 perfect scorers following IB re-marking, Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau School and St Paul’s each had 6, and Diocesan Boys’ School and St. Stephen’s College 5 each. At least 73 Hong Kong students from 17 schools scored a perfect 45 in the July count, and results upgraded on review since then have pushed the real tally higher.
Where Hong Kong sits globally
The average Hong Kong diploma candidate finishes well ahead of the typical IB student anywhere in the world. Hong Kong’s 2026 average of 37.02 sits more than 6 points above the global average of 30.88, and about one in three Hong Kong candidates scored 40 or above.

Is this ranking official?
No. It is an unofficial league table compiled from schools’ self-reported average IBDP scores, provided as a guide for parents. The IB does not publish an official ranking of schools.
This league table is unofficial and compiled from schools' own published figures. Where a school reports a range or a "percentage scoring 40+" rather than a single average, that is noted. Every figure is dated; early perfect-score counts are provisional and tend to rise through July.
