Ha Ha a lot will not agree with your ranking of ACSI there.skss:
does anyone know where to find the IP schools banding?
Maybe we can come up with one here??? ^_^
But do note that a proper banding is kinda tough...
For example, there are 3 schools in first position...
RI / ACS(I) / NUS(High) --> All three have different final exams and are thus difficult to band...
Maybe we can come up with a comprehensive one in KS forums
And you left out a school in Bukit Timah. -

I think there was some discussion about this last year. The schools were ranked in terms of A level performance. Obviously we can't include schools doing IB and diploma in this list as there's no basis for comparison.skss:

RI / HCI are well known for their A level results...
NUS (High) is well known for its unique diploma programme
Which school in Bukit Timah are you talking about???
I was just trying to bring up the point that it is hard to rank secondary schools...

You are right. You can't compare across certificates - A levels, IB and diploma. The respective stakeholders will always insist theirs is the best.

Hi butterflybee, may I know to whom is your question directed? Is it to me since I mentioned a Shanghainese neighbour many pages back? Or did someone else mention a Shanghainese neighbour as well? -
Hi SKSS,
All IP schools are excluded from banding system as they do not have ‘O’level exam.
Anglo-chinese school (Independent)\tBoys\t No banding\t245-274*
Dunman High\t Mixed No banding\t257-275
Hwa chong Institution\t Boys\t No banding\t257-273
Nanyang Girls’ High\t Girls\t No banding\t262-281*
National JC\t Mixed No banding\t257-266
Raffles Girls’ \t Girls\t No banding\t260-278
Raffles Institution\t Boys\t No banding\t259-275
River Valley High \t Mixed\t No banding\t253-275
(Note: * Non-Affiliation cut-off point) -
If the purpose of banding the IP schools is to rank them, we should not only look at academic results. Secondary school is the very important formative stage, kids will learn a lot more than knowledge. A holistic environment which allows the students to develop and flourish in many ways as a person is also a key factor. If really want to compare schools, do also consider the quality and variety of CCAs & non academic programs, school facilities, school tradition and even teacher-student ratio, teacher turnover…
