Hi!

Do you know how big is the JAE intake in RVHS?

Both Dunman High (IP) & River Valley High (IP) started taking in JAE (O-level) students, their pioneering first batch in 2019, took pioneering A-level in 2020

Based on info shared by parent SG_KP1, from the 2020 A-level batch results, one can deduce that

1) number of JAE (O-level) students intake, at River Valley High, in Year 2019

= 435 - 379

= 56 RV JAE students


And



2) number of JAE (O-level) students, at Dunman High, in Year 2019

= 73 DHS JAE students

RVHS release says there were 90 JAE students taking 2020 A Levels.

My guess is DHS JAE is also around 90-100. The DHS Sec 1 cohort has been just over 300 the last two years (2019, 2020 S1s). So I think the difference between 2019 A Level cohort and 2020 A Level cohort probably underestimates the JAE intake (i.e. S1 cohort size has been trending down).

Good year to year comparisons I must say. But I am not concerned or triggered about comparing with other JCs. Even my yr 6 daughter can see beyond that. Steady lah.

Compared RV results to say results of Mid Tier ASRJC, TMJC, SAJC, ACJC or even TJC , yes you shouldnt worry.
But to top tier JCs, should press panic button.
Something questionable with RV teaching?
