Beyond AL/PSLE scores - Choosing Secondary School

[sunnys]

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed a lot of discussions here about PSLE posting and how tough it can be to shortlist secondary schools — especially when trying to consider more than just the cut-off points.

I recently built a free website called School Advisor SG
that might be useful for parents going through this process.

It helps you explore schools holistically, by combining publicly available data on:

PSLE cut-off points (2024)

Sports & CCA performance (from national competitions)

Primary–secondary affiliations

Distance from your home (via postal code lookup)

Plus an AI assistant (“Ask SAI”) that lets you ask questions like “Which schools near Tampines are strong in football if my child’s AL is 20?”

The idea came from seeing many friends and colleagues feel overwhelmed during this season — trying to balance academics, interests, and logistics. The site just puts all this info in one place to help parents make more informed choices.

Hope it helps anyone here who’s currently shortlisting schools. Feedback or suggestions are very welcome — I built it as a side project to make this process a little less stressful for everyone.

Would love to hear if this is useful or if there are other factors you wish such tools could include.
