Nebbermind:
not very sure...no stats on that but heard that there was some unhappy (GEP) faces at last Sat session.
I would be very upset if I were them too. -

This is very true. Every year, most of CHS' GEP students go to RI/HCI. And all the top-scorers as well (mostly all those 260 and above). In my dd's school, many left at sec 3 for NJC and VJC or NUSH.
That was what I meant. If the school don't get their IP, they will slowly lose their last few top students. For example the case for ACSI, ia mnot sure how many of their GEP students they will retain if they do not get IP. The same goes to SNG, SCGS etc... -

One of this year president scholar was from Cedar Girls and left for VJC in sec 3. But for the case of CHS...they didn't retain most of their primary school top scorers even before IP system was introduced.

Maybe also because ACS are more ang mo pies and RV is very obvious a 墨水 school. :lol:
I read one the ACS primary school presentation slides. They actually tell their GEP students not to choose certain IP schools like RV because it has no experience with GEP students?! -

I have also heard of RVians left for other JCs after year 3. For what reason, I not sure. I guess, no matter which schools, there are students hopping around.
Ultimately, the affection and loyalty students have towards the school also play a part.

But academic consideration is the foremost, I'' think. Most likely the student concerned think that he/she can do better in the other school.WeiHan:

Maybe you are more pragmatic than your child would be. You'd find that girls are more likely to stay with their affiliated schools than boys. Even the top scorers will go on to their affiliated sec sch(eg. SNGS) instead of RGS for example as compared to a boy in a similar school.(eg. CHS).
