Letter: School results
Of course there is a simple explanation: there are no S5 pupils at either Sandwick Junior High or indeed Baltasound Junior High, also ranked bottom equal. Both schools are junior highs, which provide education to year 4 only; year 5 and 6 pupils take highers elsewhere at one of Shetland's several high schools.
It is disappointing that whoever prepared the main story did not bother to do a quick bit of research to see how this anomaly arose before flagging it up in the paper.
I hope you will publish a suitable explanation as it is unfair on the staff and pupils of both these schools to be incorrectly highlighted in such a way.
