In the latest Estyn school inspection in 2008, Ysgol y Preseli was recognized as a "good school with outstanding features" point 1 on a five point scale. In the latest move by the Welsh Government, introducing banding to schools, Ysgol Y Preseli was the only school in Pembrokeshire to rate in the best first band.
The latest inspection report by Estyn (2008), shows the school had a GCSE pass rate of 60% (5 GCSE's grades A*-C), and 98% should gain at least five GCSE's grades A*-G.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or standards:
“I was so grateful to be independent of the academic establishment. I thought, how awful it would be to have my future hinge on such people and such decisions.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“A generation which has passed through the shop has absorbed standards and ambitions which are not of those of spaciousness, and cannot get away from them. Everything with them is done as though for sale, and they naturally have in view the greatest possible benefit, profit and that end of the stuff that will make the best show.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
