The northern Druze town of Beit Jann leads among all Israeli communities in the percentage of high school students who passed the matriculation exam in 2020.
Beit Jann has topped the rankings numerous time in recent years, though it scores far below other communities with high matriculation rates in terms of socioeconomic measures.
Following Beit Jann in the Education Ministry’s rankings are Givatayim, Modiin, Efrat, Hod Hasharon, Gedera, Deir Hanna, Ramat Hasharon, Drom Hasharon and Lev Hasharon. Both Beit Jann and Deir Hanna have socioeconomic rankings of three, while all the other communities in the top 10 have a score of at least six or above.
At the bottom of the list are primarily communities with significant ultra-Orthodox populations and several Arab towns.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
