I can only tell you by looking at the registration numbers.

There is no indication the \"standard\" has dropped. In fact, over the last 3 years, the number of Phase 2B places has dropped from 93 to 72. Given that Phase 2B is likely to lose more seats this year, there is indeed a risk of balloting this year at Mee Toh at Phase 2B.

As for Phase 2C, the number of places available went down from 133 in 2019 to 80 in 2021. Even though the number applying for Mee Toh in Phase 2C did drop from 199 in 2019 to 152 in 2021, this is not an indication of \"reduced yearning\" for Mee Toh. It's just about parents being realistic about their chances in the face of reduced places.

Mee Toh has always required balloting under 1km for Phase 2C, since 2006. Even though Phase 2C has been \"increased\" by 20 lots, chances are high that those who didn't make it in the earlier phases will try again.

But at least you will have a chance in Phase 2C. Good luck!

This question would probably be better if it was asked in the 2022 P1 Registration Exercise thread.

Further to what ChiefKiasu said, I would add that when someone says 'standard dropped', I would question 'against what?'

Was it standard dropped compared to past years, i.e. % of students in the top bands have reduced, more students are turning out to be 'average', etc. Do note that this comparison is problematic as last year, it's no longer t-score but PSLE AL score and there is no apple-to-apple comparison of AL score.
Was it standard dropped compared to other schools in the neighbourhood, i.e. same %, but other schools doing better.
Was it standard dropped, but then other schools in the neighbourhood also dropped.

IMHO the large number of applicants (easily 2x to 4x the neighbouring schools) suggests that most parents certainly didn't think that the standard has dropped.
