Lagos is a very large city and with every typical large city, it has a high number for almost anything you can think of and schools are not left out. These days, the school business is so profitable that everyone wants to go into it not caring whether they have good enough facilities and capabilities to go into it. The poor state of government-owned schools also contributes terribly to the growth of ill-structured schools.
However, there are schools that are constantly and consistently flying the banner of excellence when it comes to quality education and producing the best students who go on to make the country proud in every field they find themselves in. The school not only gives quality education but have state of art facilities, good and comfortable environment for exponential learning, and all that qualifies a good school.
