        My friend just asked, it is very easy to choose schools if her child is only eligible for the normal stream but what if her child manages to get into Express but with very low score between 188-210? What are the better schools around Yishun, AMK, Bishan, Sembawang and Toa Payoh for such scores? TIA.

              I do not think so except to check out their websites or call them up because from what I know, some do have open house but did not put it up on their websites. HTH.

                I do find it strange that a major school marketing event like the open house day is not published in their website. Ah well, back to the old calling ways of using the phone instead of using the keyboard.

                  Not all, some. I knew this when I called up to check and was surprised that they did not put up the notice on their website too.

                    Most schs hv given out the booklet on \"Choosing your secondary school for admission in 2012\". The COP for express and normal streams of each individual school is shown there.

                      Thank you Mamo for responding. Yes, but my friend said it is still difficult to gauge which are the better ones, so she needs some feedback. Thank you.

                        Look at the awards, which are the Value-Added Schools? Secondary schools are ranked.


                        Lee Hsien Loong Award for Innovations in the Normal Course
                        The award recognises schools whose innovative practices have led to significant benefits in the all-round development of students in the Normal (Academic) and Normal (Technical) Courses. The recipients for 2010 are:
                        * Bendemeer Secondary School
                        * Yishun Town Secondary School

                        Take a look also at banding for express and normal.
                        Ang Mo Kio Secondary
                        Kranji Secondary
                        Yishun Town Secondary
