Ibadan has always been known as the home of good secondary schools in Nigeria due to the quality of education students receive in most schools in the state. However, some secondary schools stand out because they consistently remain the best.
Two schools in Ibadan are known for quality education according to their performance in WAEC results, NECO results, and Cowbell mathematics competition. These schools are Oritamefa Baptist Model Schools (OBMS) and Air Force Comprehensive High School, Iyana-Offa, Ibadan.
