Controversies surrounding lower COPs for affiliation

verykiasu2010:
I believe spirit and values takes a long journey but chasing the academic in comparison is a piece of cake.had a conversation with a primary school principal recently
the lamentation is that the values and spirit of the primary school is lost once they go to Sec 1 because they do not have affiliated secondary school
Here's an article from a true-blue Rafflesian on the flipside of the coin, I share her views...academic is only as good as one's values. I can empathise with her views... Another example I would like to bring out is the Romanian diplomat. I am sure he is selected partly based on his academic excellence but see his value system???

I am curious how you got to know the mean score of SCGS. This is something we parents have always wanted to find out but with little success. -

Thanks turquoise, yes, I got the info from the MOE site. And verykiasu2010, you have a very good point, about looking at the median score. In fact, the median scores of the above schools are almost identical to their mean scores, which means the distribution of PSLE scores is pretty symmetric.
