[Jurong East] Primary Schools

[lizawa]

if you are staying near Jurong East, I think http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/school/fuhua-primary-school is quite a good one.

Fuhua has indeed a very good ICT enrichment programme, and has done well in Math Olympiads, but we have not been able to assess its historical PSLE performance. Anyone has got this information?

Just found this information, 2005 PSLE 100% pass rate. No info on the other years.

Wow! 100%?! That's tier-1 performance.

All my nieces and nephews are at Fuhua Primary.. and none of them get a good results in their exams. So thats worry me

[ChiefKiasu]

Results are ultimately dependent on the mettle of students. Have you taken a look at their exam papers to determine if the questions are really hard or is it just the kids making silly mistakes? That would be a better guage. Could it be that Fuhua’s tests are harder than the national average?

I have not taken a look at the exam paper… but Im not so sure what is a National Average… as I dont have anyone I know from different primary schools…

I do know that last year’s Fuhua’s SA2 exam papers were much difficult than previous years. That was because, the school was merging with Pandan Primary School, so somehow the papers set were of higher standard so that both schools can guage the 2 groups of students and place them in the appropriate class.


According to friends who stay around Jurong East, this should be the best one among the rest.

For me, I always ask what’s the average for the class and the school and what’s the highest score, so that I know where my children stand. The absolute mark is not so important.

Hi to all daddies and mummies out there,


My daughter will be going into P1 in 2010, thus, I heard that now is the time to plan for the right Primary school.

However, after checking INLIS, to where I am staying now, less than 1km will be FUHUA and YUHUA PRIMARY SCHOOL, more than 1km less than 2km will be BUKIT VIEW, JURONG, KEMING, LIANHUA, and PRINCESS ELIZABETH PRIMARY SCHOOL.

I am in a dilemma now as since she is our first girl , we do not know which is the best or most appropriate school to go for. Or rather, am I too kan-chong and kiasu to worry now... :oops:

Could someone enlighten me on this?

Thanks....

Actually, if you are planning to do parent voluntary work for the school to secure a place earlier in the registration phases (ie. Phase 2B), you are almost too LATE. The last day for you to register as a PV in your preferred school is end of this month, ie. 30 June 2008. Check this http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/phases/.

http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/school/fuhua-primary-school is a good option for you, since you are <1km from it. Check out this http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=197.
