The figures are the first in which the government scrapped the proportion of pupils achieving at least five C grades at GCSE, including English and maths, as its headline figure.
Instead schools have been assessed on two new measures – Attainment 8 and Progress 8 – which assess pupil's level of achievement and progress respectively.
The figures reveal 58.8 per cent of pupils in Wolverhampton achieved A* to C in both their English and maths GCSEs last year.
In Dudley the figures showed 55.7 per cent of pupils in Dudley achieved the standard, 59.7 per cent of pupils in Staffordshire, 49.6 per cent of pupils in Sandwell and the figure was 57.4 per cent in Walsall.
The new measures have made it difficult to compare this year's results to those recorded in previous years.
Attainment 8 gauges the achievement of a pupil across eight qualifications including mathematics and English, three further qualifications that count in the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) measure, and three other qualifications that can be GCSEs or any other approved equivalent qualification.
Progress 8 looks at the progress a pupil makes from the end of primary school to the end of secondary school.
