The following list of highest historical junior scores in figure skating contains the highest junior scores earned before the 2018–19 season under the ISU Judging System (IJS). The 2018–19 season began on July 1, 2018.
After being tested in 2003, the IJS replaced the old 6.0 system in the 2004–05 figure skating season. Up to and including the 2017–18 season, the Grade of Execution (GOE) scoring system for each program element ranged between -3 and +3. Beginning with the 2018–19 season, the GOE was expanded to a range between -5 and +5. Hence, the International Skating Union (ISU) restarted all records beginning with the 2018–19 season and all previous statistics were marked as "historical". Accordingly, this page lists only the highest scores achieved before the 2018–19 season, using the -3/+3 GOE scoring range.
The following lists are included: Records: current junior record holders; technical and component record scores; progression of junior record scores Personal bests: highest personal best scores; highest personal best technical element scores; highest personal best program component scores Absolute bests: lists of absolute best scores
Note: In the case of personal best lists, only one score is listed for any one skater, i.e. their personal best. The absolute best lists may include more than one score for the same skater.
The ISU only recognizes the best scores that are set at international competitions run under the ISU's rules, and does not recognize, for example, scores that are obtained at national figure skating championships. The junior competitions recognized by the ISU are: the Winter Youth Olympics, the World Junior Championships, and Junior Grand Prix competitions.
