          my son go into MSHS from 16 Jan 2020 after appeal success. based on the limited communications with vice principal, I would deem this as a good school.
          some info i know, hope it helps.
          i know someone close teaching in MHS sec ,
          boys sch so prob a bit playful but not rowdy, dun think got big discipline issues, playfulness cant avoid
          i know the sch places importance on value teachings - Gentlemen with Faith, Vision and Service
          most boys are well mannered.
          i heard this yr 100% pass rate to JC & poly .
          it is affi to Maris pri section with COP 226 , all express Boys so standard should be quite alright. intake non affi cop around mid high 230s to high 240s - all express classes mean abt 300+ Express O level boys .

            The general public view is that MSHS is a good school. Boys are generally well-behaved. The highest scorer for the Sec 1 batch in 2020 is 255. COP (non affi) is 239 up from 237 in prior year. Principal is strict. 9 classes of Sec 1 this year totalling about 310 in sec 1 intake. Affiliated COP is 226 but I believe some of those who DSA in may score lower. Students generally aim for JC. School offers HCL to everyone if they score at least an A in PSLE even though they don’t take HMT in P6. It is one of the few schools in SGP offering the CLEP. A good school to consider

              It seems like MSHS affiliate COP is getting higher and higher over the years. It is so close to SNGS affiliate COP now. Not sure how many % of the affiliated students cannot meet the 226 COP.

                  Won’t the boys struggle with HMT if they did not do HMT in primary school in P6 ?

                  Sec 1 Chinese increased in difficulty from primary Chinese. Sec 1 Higher Chinese is comparable to JC standard. Even though the boys study HCL, they have to take O levels MT in Sec 3 and O levels HMT in Sec 4. I wonder why no parents question MOE the vocabulary words in Secondary MT and HMT Chinese are totally different and yet they kept saying if you take HMT, you will know MT.

                  Even if one is offered to do HMT in Sec 2 because can get high 80 plus for Sec 1 MT, can still fail HMT in Sec 2 and will struggle. This is a true story from another Sec sch case.

                    wow !

                    That's very good of Maris Stella Higher Chinese department strategy, because the school actually overide MOE eligibility letter regarding HCL. Now all Sec 1 students, as long as have acquired minimum grade A (75 & above) in PSLE Standard Chinese, can do HCL (Sec 1).
                    As long as student keen (willing) to learn HCL, why not ?
                    everyone, has to start from somewhere
                    so, starting from Sec 1 (HCL), with a minimum grade A expectation (in PSLE Standard Chinese), is the right move
                    some students, even though never taken HCL (PSLE), are still able to cope with Secondary (HCL). Is a matter of your own learning attitude, your ownership over learning subject Chinese, how hardworking you are ?

                      Maris Stella affliation COP (226), is pretty high

                      MS, median (affliation, Express O-level program) is 236, 10 points higher than 226 admission entry
                      https://sis.moe.gov.sg/SchoolDetails.aspx?schoolCode=7111


                      4 Tscore points away, from St Nick 230 (affliation COP)
                      not much difference

                      St Nick, median (affliation, Express O-level curriculum) is 244

                        Maris Stella High School does not offer the Normal (Academic) or the Normal (Technical) stream. Student who fail to meet the promotion criteria may have to seek transfer to another school which offers these streams.

                        There is minimum criteria to meet to continue to do HMT at the next level. To be eligible for Higher Mother Tongue (HCL), students should obtain a minimum of 50% for HCL at Sec 2. Otherwise, just check with the Teachers to see if they will still let you continue HMT at Sec 3 if you struggle at Sec 2 and pull down aggregate of other subjects when Sec 2 is an important year for streaming.
