[Bukit Merah] Primary Schools

[janet88]

Alexandra primary has 90 places taken under phase 1. as it is a new school, there won’t be former students at 2A. even if 20 teachers register their kids there, so there should be 100 places left for 2B and 2C…50 places (additional 10) as 40 vacancies must be kept aside.

Hi everyone! Hoping to pick your brain on my 2 choices of Alexandra Pri Sch (<1 km) and Radin Mas Pri (1 - 2 km). I know both are competitive and I wish to make sure I think through the odds of getting in. What do you all think?

FYI, RMPS has reduced its intake this year by 30 places. So, balloting may be for those in the less than 1 km category, especially this being a dragon year.

If you are looking ONLY at these two schools, my above statements will have answered your question.

RMPS will likely to enter balloting in phrase 2A2 or 2B. Chances left to get in there in 2C will be 20%.

Thanks for the replies! Oh wow seems like RMPS is super competitive. How about APS then? I know its also very popular

[bbabyblue]

APS is also popular cos it is consider a new sch. If you are staying nearer to APS, chances of getting in will be higher compare to RMPS. Mostly like to enter balloting under 2C as nearby have alot of new estates.

It's better for you to be prepared. Please also consider a backup school.

My son is registering for P1 this year. We have GESPS and Blangah rise within 1km, and a few schools at 1-2km, like Radin Mas, Zhangde, Alexandra, Queenstown primary school. We have no priority, so chance is very low for Radin Mas, Alexandra, and even ZhangDe. Comparing Zhangde, Queenstown, and Gan Eng Seng, which school is a better choice in your opinion? My son likes to follow his peers on what to do, not much of his

own determination. So I think a school with good learning environment, and encouraging teachers will help. Appreciate for your opinion.

Why do you think you have a very low chance for Zhangde?

Many parents staying within 1 km of Alexandra and Radin Mas consider Zhangde as one of their backup schools. As such, your chance at Zhangde is not that low, looking at the statistics for the past few years.

Zhangde, Queenstown and Gan Eng Seng are all comparable in terms of standard.
