no. total vacancies is still more than total applicants. Just that 3 schools are more popular.

Can Guangyang even make up 1 class? Why don't they just close the school and pass the resources to the other 3 so they can have more seats?

Out of curiosity, how come this school is so undesired by parents?? So different from Guanghua (Kong Hwa) :?

In a way yes since the only school with vacancy has already moved to Ang Mo Kio. I am sure they are still mire Bishan parents not yet register. I am one of them. Really hope MOE will look into this for next year.
