Altrincham Grammar School for Girls has been ranked first out of 3,109 state schools in England in a new schools guide.
The Real Schools Guide 2016, compiled by publisher Trinity Mirror, takes 25 different sets of data into account and seeks to give a “far more comprehensive picture than traditional league tables”.
As well as exam results, other factors include value-added scores, pupil-teacher ratios and absence rates.
Altrincham Grammar, on Cavendish Road in Bowdon, achieves an overall rating of 93.9 out of 100, with separate five-star ratings for attainment, teaching, attendance and outcomes.
Last year it was ranked seventh in the same guide.
Other local schools to feature highly in the list included Altrincham Grammar School for Boys, at 92nd, Loreto Grammar School at 96th and St Ambrose College (129th).
