Your child is a PR.

Discussion of the school is pointless if you can’t even ballot for the school. Among the 3, number 1 and 2 will ballot for SC only. Therefore, your choice is effectively number 3, SKPS, only.

Thank you for your prompt response . We are eligible for phase 2B in no.2 & 3 school. My primary concern is the about the values, school facilities and teachers which these school impart to the students.

Since there is no open houses due to COVID-19 we are seeking this information via this forum.

Last year OLN PR within 1km had to ballot. But this year PR probably may not have a chance at all.

The one time balloting for within 1km was in 2013 but thats when 40 spots not were reserved for 2B and 2C. 2014 onwards, its usually quite close for filling in the spots nicely (all distance). For this year take up rate till 2A1 has increased 22 spots. and If the 2A2 fill in 24 more, HPPS will be left with 40 spots. Point to note is 26 people applied under 2B last year (19 Applied in 2018). All GRL route would adopt an \"avoid ballot\" route. For risk point i think its still fairly good chance those for within 1km under 2B will be safe.

I couldn't assume your year of registration. if its for this year or SG50 baby, the risk point should be above.

For NYPS and RGPS, staying within 1km under 2B, for NYPS balloting will be conducted at 1.5X to 1.8X of the available spots whilst RGPS will be sure in.

If you want all the 3 choices, and your application is not this year, you can watch the numbers for HPPS and say balloting 26 applied for 20 spots and balloting is conducted for >2km, then based on risk point and increasing option you can go for staying within 1km of NYPS and RGPS while staying within 1-2km of HPPS.

I also noted you may have other 2A1 or 2A2 choices, all i want to say is with more choices, come more headache Weigh your pros and con and adopt a strategy that best suit your risk profile.
