LISKEARD School and Community College's sixth form is celebrating after being ranked the top performing state college in the county in the latest A-level league tables.
Statistics released by the Department for Education on Thursday show pupils from the college achieved the second best results out of all of Cornwall's schools.
It was beaten to the top spot only by Truro High School – a private school.
Donna Bryant, head teacher at the college, paid tribute to students, staff and parents.
She said: "We are thrilled with our A-level results which are testament to all the hard work, dedication and commitment of the students, staff and parents working together.
"This is further evidence of our school going from strength to strength – we are delighted."
Tom Collier, 17, from Dobwalls, a sixth form student at the college who wants to study physics at Durham University, said: "Coming top in the A-level tables is brilliant for the whole school. A lot of the credit should go to the staff who run the sixth form who go the extra mile for us.
"We're all feeling pretty proud."
Meanwhile, results for GCSE pupils at the school came 24th in the county.
"This success is seen also in our GCSE results, which have improved 32 per cent over the past two years with students achieving five good GCSEs," Mrs Bryant said.
Saltash.net, Torpoint Community College and Callington Community College came eighth, ninth and tenth respectively for their A-level results.
And Torpoint Community College was South East Cornwall's front-runner in the GCSE league table, coming a respectable 13th out of the 36 schools across the county.
Its head teacher, Andrea Hazeldine, said: "We are really proud of all our students' achievements.
"These excellent results at GCSE, vocational and A level are due to their efforts, underpinned by the hard work and commitment of staff at the college.
"We all have a can-do attitude," she added.
Callington and Looe schools were ranked 17th and 19th respectively for their GCSE results.
The Cornish Guardian reported earlier this month how Saltash.net, was still in the process of challenging last year's exam results after exam board AQA increased the grade boundaries.
The new rankings saw it placed bottom of the league table.
Head teacher Isabel Bryce said that until last year 66 per cent of students had achieved A* to C grades, but in summer 2012 these took a nosedive to 45 per cent.
"This was absolutely not reflective of saltash.net," Mrs Bryce said.
She said the school is concerned that the Government's decision to publish the results at a time when appeals are continuing will have a "detrimental effect" on current GCSE students.
"We are delighted for our current Year 11s for doing so well despite having to change course midway.
"The stress of last term, for teachers and students, was huge and the Government has no idea," said Mrs Bryce.
She added: "We are still fighting and I won't drop it until we get an answer as to how AQA could have behaved so inconsistently."
