      How can you conclude it is \"excellent\" when the cohort performance - UAS is not even revealed ??

      Many JCs such as RI and EJC has revealed theirs.

        Median > 85 rp, you kn as last yr was shared.
        U can find its u tube vid for 2018 result thr internet . Or u saw the vid liao, still bring up.
        Move on.

        2019 results, alrdy shared in vid.

        But u said NYJC never share UAS? So you are wrong?

        So NYJC share UAS when it is good and dont share when it is bad?

        I meant Mean UAS not shared by Ny.
        1 forummer might hve gotten from insider news abt its Mean though.
        U know Median was > 85 last yr, so u know its Median I was referring.

        I dun wish to continue with u.

        As long Ny Head aldry shared class 2019 excellent showing results, then :xedfingers:
        If you think not, so be it.[/quote]
        Oh. So you saying even last year median of 85 was not official? It was some rumour from some forummer?

        It may even be fake news

            Maybe he was referring to median of 85 for student leaders only? 🤷

            ...which makes me wonder why the school only mentioned student leaders?

              Student leaders are only a small subset (10-20%?) of the student population. What relevance would their results have on the rest? Are they suggesting that the rest, on the whole, have poorer results? Totally no ideal. It’s hard to draw any meaning from this.

              Given that there isn’t a “standard” presentation, I’ve no issues with schools using mean or median to make their case. What I find unacceptable though, is shifting goal posts - using this metric this year, and that metric another year. I can understand that the school may be trying to motivate or encourage their students so that they feel shiok about themselves, but come on, no need to massage the measures until so chut bin.

                  NYJC has never been transparent about its results. It keep saying it is better than VJC , NJC but does not show any results to prove so.

                  No wonder there are folks that says its marketing is good....

                    No wonder there are folks that says its marketing is good....[/quote]I also thinks schools should be transparent. Revealing Metrics like UAS Mean or Median will allow parents and prospective students make an informed choice.

                    For schools that have done well, congrats to them. Those that didn't do as well, this will give them the motivation to strive better.

                    Btw, heard a NYJC boy attained 9 Distinctions, including 3 H3 subjects.
