This year, none of the PSE's top 5 were from Belize City. This year's top performer wa Jasmine Espat from St. Andrew Anglican Primary School from Cayo. Espat topped the exam with a score of 386/400. Following behind her was AnnElyse Fleser - Perdue from La Isla Bonita Elementary School and Jasmine Faber from St. Peter Claver Primary School in Toledo.

Bernice York's Kai Badillo came in 7th, but opted not to give an interview and instead, in what might be a 7 News first, sent us his own personal statement.
