Opinions of the Primary School Registration System

The two new schools in Jurong West are balloting.ksi:
Which new school is so popular? The new school I know in Seng Kang has 200+ seats but at the last day of Phase 2C, only 100+ seats taken up and still have 100+ seats for Phase 2C supplementary. I actually advised one parent living nearby to go for the new school instead for its proximity and also the new resources that it has which can benefit the child.
1) Frontier Primary -- at Jurong West Street 61
2) Westwood Primary -- at Jurong West Street 74
Indeed, new school new resources and new facilities
What I can analyse (JMHO), Frontier takes the load off Jurong West Primary and Westwood Primary takes the load off West Grove Primary.
Both Frontier and Jurong West Primary are located at JW Street 61 and within 1km from both schools there are many HDB flats surrounding them.
Same goes to Westwood and West Grove Primary - Located at Street 74 and 72 respectively, also surrounded with many school-going children staying within 1km. -

No balloting at all and still have 71 seats left. -

Ah...so there are indeed enough schools, i.e. those who fail the balloting can all fit into Pioneer Primary School. Now people are fighting for new facilities in the new schools. Gosh...the govt really did their sums to the dot.....I calculated those who would not get a seat in the new schools will come up to 71 kids and Pioneer have exactly 71 seats left......so uncannily accurate!! :yikes:
Yes. At phase 2C, Frontier is having 258 fighting for 214 seats and Westwood is having 267 fighting for 240 seats. Very likely, they are even balloting at within 1 km. Within the same 1km radius, there are two other schools, west grove and jurong west, balloting too.ksi:
Do you know if the new schools have big intake of 200+ students?
The demographics are indeed very different in Jurong West. -

It doesn't matter whether this is the FIRST or LAST school that people in this neighborhood wants to go to It matters more whether our kid(s) can learn and excel by themselves in whichever school they are studying in.
Frankly speaking, I am never mindful whenever people ask,\" your girls in which school? Oh Corporation Primary at Jurong West! Why you never think of transfer them out? That school is one of the UNDER RADAR in that neighbourhood!\" :lightrod: :faint:
My DD1 in P4, Dd2 in P1 and they are both loving school and learning well. I am proud to say that both are adapting well in school and enjoying everyday
(minus the tons of homework for P4 DD1 ).
SO, whether they are in the \"top, popular\" school or \"under radar\" one as commented by many - their Happiness is my greatest achievement & contentment as a mummy
