The best high schools in Bucharest in mathematics-information in 2025
At the end of a new year, before admission to high school, parents and students look carefully at the top and high performance high schools. The mathematical-information specialization, in the standard (without intensive) version, remains one of the most popular and competitive. The average of the last admitted is usually an indicator relevant to the academic level and the prestige of each college.

All these high schools are in the top of the students’ preferences and are considered elite colleagues in Bucharest. It must be said that this year’s top is the same as last year, at least at the high schools at the top of the list.
Why does these tops matter?
For the students of the eighth grade and their families, these statistics offer a clear image of the admission competition and can guide the choices for the future. At the same time, they reflect a balance between the academic tradition of a high school and the quality of the current generations of students and teachers.
How do you choose the right high school: the top is not everything
Even if the top of the high schools may seem defining, it is important for the choice to take into account: the student’s right profile, the distance from the home and the educational environment and the extracurricular activities offered by the high school.
A top high school can open opportunities, but also a “middle” high school can be the perfect choice for a motivated student, say education specialists.
