It's an old school, well established. That's why around 50% of the seats has been taken at the earlier stage. Yes, huge demand for it. Can check from MOE website here: http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/vacancies/#bukit-batok

If you're keen on sending your kid there, perhaps you can check w/ the school whether they hv PV scheme. (volunteering) so you can apply on stage 2B.

to qualify for PEPS phase 2B, you have to go grassroots. they don't accept PV.
and you have to be within 1km to participate in balloting if you going for phase 2C.

My guess:
- Keming is surrounded by high-rise residential blocks, such as blks 288 - 291, and the Dew.
- It is easily accessible by public buses, compared to Bukit View and LianHua.
- Its top PSLE student last year - 276.

based on the chart, BVPS performed better in the % passes for standard subjects when compared to LPS.

do look at their choice of CCAs and distance when you are deciding on which to choose.
good luck.
