St Andrew's, in Carntyne, Glasgow, which serves some of the poorest postcodes in the UK, such as Easterhouse, Cranhill, Ruchazie and Shettleston, was awarded three "excellent" ratings by inspectors and two "very goods".
Inspectors from Education Scotland also issued a glowing report to Bishopbriggs Academy, in East Dunbartonshire, which became the first secondary school in Scotland to achieve four "excellent" evaluations since the launch of new guideliness last year.
