On the 2021 CSEC exams, Cayman’s Year 11 students beat the Caribbean average in Maths but not in English. Here is a summary of our key observations about the 2021 CSEC results.
Cayman Islands students with potential or verified Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) performed significantly worse on Year 11 exams in 2021 than their peers.
The level of student performance varies significantly among Cayman Islands public primary schools, with differences in results only partly explained by assessments of students’ pre-existing “thinking abilities”, according to the Education Data Report 2021.
In the Fall 2020 term following the closure of schools due to COVID-19, Year 6 public primary school students scored significantly worse on tests designed to measure their reasoning abilities than students had the year before the pandemic.
Year 11 students at Clifton Hunter significantly outperformed students at John Gray on 2021 external exams, following a period of 2 years where John Gray had nearly closed the gap in test scores.
After a spike in test scores in 2020, Year 11 exam results for Cayman Islands public high schools in 2021 regressed to previous levels, with only Clifton Hunter beating its marks from 2019.

We have created a sortable and searchable table to explore end-of-high-school test results for Cayman Islands public schools.
Students receiving school-based support for potential Special Education Needs and Disabilities appear to perform markedly better on Year 11 exams than peers in the first stage of being monitored for SEND.
