GCSEs in Hull - how did your school do?
Data published today shows that 29.6 per cent of pupils in Hull achieved the Government standard of five or more GCSEs with A* to C grades last year, including English and maths.
That is behind the previous year's figure of 30 per cent.
It compares to the national average of 47.2 per cent of pupils gaining the benchmark.
Hull has fallen one place in the league tables, ranked the bottom authority out of 149 across the county.
Education leaders in Hull have expressed their disappointment at the results.
Councillor Mike Ross, portfolio holder for education, said: "Our position in the league tables shows that Hull's results are simply not good enough.
"The council will continue to work closely with schools to put more support in place to help turn things around, and I am confident that this will show through with results this year.
"What's also important now is the value that education is given by young people, their families and the community.
For all that the council and schools can do, for real change to happen it will require the commitment of parents and others and positive attitudes towards education."
Hull dropped down the post-16 education league table, which includes qualifications such as A-levels.
The city slipped from 46th last year to 79 this year, a fall of 33 places, in the tables, also published today.
The A-level average points score has gone down from 719.2 to 698.6.
