      :shock: 12/25 and 10/24 are very low CO/WL hit rate for GEP. Such numbers are lower than some top Higher Ability classes.

      Most if not all GEP girls have CO/WL.
      Taking an example of 350:200 GEP boy:girl scenario,
      80%of 550=440
      440-200 girls= 240 boys
      240/350=69% hit rate for boys with DSA CO/WL
      350-440= 110 boys no CO/WL
      :yikes:
      Above is just example/scenario only, not true numbers. Pls don't flame :pokeeye:
      Saving grace is eventually >90% get into IP after PSLE but got handful in non-IP.

        The CO/WL figures do look rather dismal based on just two sets of reported statistics by ngbrdad and Interested. Maybe if more parents fed back with their stats it’ll look better?

            If they announce it it'll be next year. The kids usually know among themselves who received CO/WLs etc. The P6 teachers also know bec they'll collate the info for their own purposes and also they'll be handing out the DSA forms.

            Maybe when parents from NYPS and RGPS report their figures the numbers will edge closer towards 80%.

                    In my dd's year, almost all the girls had a CO/WL in RGPS. And traditionally NYPS has high CO/WLs too. So if that's the case this year, then that might bring the stats closer to 80%.

                      Then they bluff children one leh.
                      One of the selling point to attract people into accepting the GEP offer was more than 80% will get secondary school of their choice thru DSA.

                        Most GEP girls will get CO/WL.
                        So being the only all girls school here, it's natural for RGPS to have higher rate.
                        NYPS being the premier GEP school also should have higher rate lah.
                        Btw do they have a higher girl : boy ratio compared to other GEP schools ?
