Choosing and Evaluating Primary Schools

[cherrygal]

Definitely. Punggol to Bukit Timah is no joke, plus the massive jams…


Punggol to AMK is OK.

Hi,


I’m considering placing my son in ACS but can’t decide between ACS Primary (at Barker) or ACS Junior (at Winstedt). Any advice or feedback on either school would be appreciated. Thx

Help! I am having trouble choosing between Kuo Chuan and Yangzheng Primary. I live at Lorong Chuan and both schools are less than 1 km for me. I am a PR too. So which school will be best for my son who is p1 at 2013? . Please help us. Thank you

I am PR. Hence P2C for me. Do I stand a chance for Rivervale Primary (Sengkang)? Or for Compassvale Primary? Nan Chiau is a forlorn hope.

I am currently staying in punggol. If I don't shift back to amk, think it will be tiring for my children to travel to and fro when they start having cca.

Do you plan to drive your child to/frm school? Punggol to/frm AMK is actually very very fast by car.

No, my husband uses the car for his work. So either it's school bus or moving house.

Hi miffy_ang
You are facing the same dilemma as me, my gal can go RGPS under 2A2 as mummy is x gal there.. But distance is the main consideration, actually Punggol to AMK is not that far as compared to Punggol to Bukit Timah..should really consider that. We still have about 3 weeks to think about it. All the best to you and to me as well.

Hi WTS,

I actually have more than 3 weeks to think, as my girl is a 09 kid. I am just being kiasu


I will prefer RGPS. Will you consider shifting nearer to the school?

Hi miffy,

As an ex student, I feel you shouldn’t give up your phase 2A. RGPS is a good girls school. However, the morning traffic along Dunearn Rd is no joke with construction of DTL2 and many schools along the road down to ACS and SCGS.

No chance at all if your child is a PR also...

Hi Miffy_ang,

So you have 3 more years and I only have 3 weeks. I also prefer RGPS, but houses there are too x. I have check with SSTA, estimated total time spend on the road( to and fro )is about 1hr30min to 2 hrs daily depend on traffic, so most likely I will registered her at Horizon Pri which is just 100m away from my block.
