The Eça de Queirós Secondary School, in Póvoa de Varzim, achieved 31st place in the national school rankings based on the 2025 secondary education national exams, and 1st place among public schools in the Porto district.

The rankings, released by several reference media outlets with official data from the Ministry of Education and Science, place the Póvoa school in a prominent position. These results are an important indicator that, along with others, allows for a more comprehensive assessment of teaching quality.
The good results achieved by the Eça de Queirós Secondary School represent added value for students, providing them with greater freedom of choice and better opportunities for their academic and professional paths.
These data continue the work developed by the educational community over the last two decades and validate the commitment of the Municipality of Póvoa de Varzim to quality education for all.
The Municipal Council has been investing in the requalification and expansion of educational establishments. In the last year, works were completed at the Escola dos Sininhos, the creation of the first municipal public daycare center in Estela, the University Residence in the former Escola do Boído, and the Children's Park at EB1/JI da Aldeia, in Aguçadoura.
