The Castro Marim Basic School recorded a very positive evolution in the 2024/2025 academic year ranking, climbing 264 positions in the 9th-grade table compared to the previous year. According to data from Nova SBE, the school ranked 775th nationally in 2025, a significant improvement from the 1039th place recorded in 2024.
This performance is of great importance, as it occurs in a year that saw a generalized decline in the average scores of public schools in the 9th grade nationwide. This highlights the effectiveness of the pedagogical strategies implemented by the School Group and supported by the Municipality of Castro Marim.
For the Municipality of Castro Marim, this rise reflects the joint commitment of students, teachers, non-teaching staff, and families, in continuous work focused on close student support and the consolidation of learning.
The positive results are also due to the investments made in recent months in the Agrupamento de Escolas de Castro Marim by the Municipality, ranging from the renovation of some spaces, the provision of workbooks, support for transport and meals, and the organization of events and initiatives that contribute to good academic performance.
One of the major investments this year was the implementation of the “CM Educa+” project, by the Municipality of Castro Marim, in conjunction with the School Group. This is a specialized support program aimed at preparing students for national exams, through a digital learning platform developed by the University of Algarve.
