Looking for better 2nd & 3rd tier Secondary Schools

[pixiedust]

ppnqq, no offence taken...understand your point and hence the original title stated \"2nd and 3rd tier\". I think we are in same boat - no plans to go for DSA. For this thread, I guess the mention of some schools kicked the discussion towards DSA but reality also showed that it is difficult to get information about \"better\" secondary schools. I think we have to rely on our own smaller networks and go into the specific Secondary School threads to find out more. We are in different kampong, else can group together to research...but nevertheless, all the best


Mum1113, thanks for pointing that thread to us. It is indeed useful !

For parents whose kids are in this category, approx 220-235, apart from distance, ccas, choose one which consistently has high valued added.


For example, btw two shortlisted schools, look at their banding, naturally, the higher the better. In the event both fall under the same band ie band 6, go for one which has the lower cop. Ultimately, you want a school to add value to your kids.

Edureach, thanks…I am a bit lost on the banding. Is there an offical source I can check the value-added banding of a particular Secondary school? I suppose it is MOE who bands the Secondary schools ?

The banding and awards will be indicated in the S1 Choosing Your Secondary Sch booklet issued by MOE sometime after the PSLE exam. I think you can also get that from MOE website, in excel so that you can sort.

You can consider Gan Eng Seng School. Know some kids from this sch. Programme seems ok. In every sch, there will be some bad students, so it's important to check that your kids mix with the right company.
