There was an overall pass rate of 98 per cent with students recording A* to G grades.
‘Indicative destination data’ shows nearly 90 per cent of those who completed Year 11 are expected to continue in full-time education in September – either at sixth form of University College Isle of Man.
Education Minister Julie Edge said: “I’d like to extend my congratulations to every student who received their results today.
“Now they are at the end of their compulsory schooling they are faced with a number of choices which can sometimes feel both exciting and overwhelming.
“I am grateful to our committed staff who have played a pivotal role in preparing these young people for the path ahead.
“Whether the future leads into further education, an apprenticeship, or the world of work, I wish them all the very best of luck.
“Education continues whether it’s through academic, vocational or learn and earn - the Island has opportunities for all.”
Today’s results reflect a return to pre-pandemic grading processes for national and international examination boards.
