It's misleading to only look at one top score from each school.

NYPS has 45 kids with PSLE of 270 and above, 232 kids with PSLE above 250 and the mean aggregate PSLE score of the entire cohort of 490 kids is 239. These numbers exclude HCL extra points.

As mentioned in the other thread, top score is the only info that is readily available. Misleading or not, it really depends on how one wants to make use of this info.

There is another thread on Quality Passes % in Primary Schools http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=45983

Do feel free to update the info you have provided on NYPS in this thread.

Thank you very much for your kind help for those who answered my question.

You are right. If your son failed to get into the 6 choices, he will be posted to the neighbourhood school that has vacancy. My DS was like that and we started appealing like crazy, so parents please choose your choices wisely, believe me.

I believe that most parents are so concerned on the results at PSLE, which is the first exam of the life of Singapore children. I only caution that any information pertaining to the results is now classified as undisclosable. Any attempt to disclose it without the permission from the school and MOE is deemed as invasion of privileged information.



Whatever so-called \"I heard\" from so and so will never been validated. If I am not wrong, I think that MOE will have the power to stop any parent from engaging the media to report on their children's high score.

Please do with a bit of wisdom, I do not know how MOE and the school will view it. If any names of the so-called top student, will it deemed as contradicting the current new policy. The MOE will reserve the rights to pursue the matters as they deem fit.

I caution myself not to be involved of sharing the information I know. This is because I do not know how MOE will view it. This is new policy and let us discuss it with the term, I heard, I was told by my son or daughter who happen to be friend that their classmate get how much and so on. Do not say \"so and so (with reference to actual name) of \"so and so\" school obtained 279, 285, 283. It might land you in trouble if MOE intend to pursue it, it might question the school, and slowly filter down to the actual person who release such information.

are you being overparanoid or kiasi? MOE official announcement is that they will stop publishing names of top scorers but it DID NOT prohibit schools and the public from doing so. Since when has it become \"undisclosable\" and MOE can take action against parent???

[quote=\"sujatha\"]Hi everyone,

I don't know how relevant it is to ask this help here when you all have other major concerns. I apologize if this hurts anyone. I am genuinely interested in some help in choosing my daughter's secondary school. She scored 252 + 2 for HMT. She has been a school topper in previous years and a consistent high scorer. All the while we were having a high expectation like 260+ and dreaming about top schools with IP. I feel very helpless to choose her school. Does she have any chance to get into IP programme?. If not what other good choice of school I have?. I live in marine parade. Will appealing for recorrection help in anyway?.

You may want to try Catholic High. They will be having IP program next year for the first time. Thin your daughter's score should be good enough for the school.

How can a girl go to an All-boys' school?[/quote]Why not!!! One is only limited by their own imagination n ambition.
Pope Joan did it. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Kidding aside Sujatha, Catholic High is an all boys school with strong emphasis on bilingualism, specifically Chinese n English as first languages.
Current PM is an alumni.

phtthp:

putting aside those GEP centre, seems like majority of the Mainstream schools highest score falling within ... 270 - 279 range


>=280, a few dark horses (Mainstream schools) gallop right to the front lead are:-

St Stephen 284

Rulang 283

Nan Chiau tie with Temasek - 281

Kuo Chuan Presbyterian 280

next year P1 registration - these few schools will be hot !
St Stephen produced scholar #2

#1 scholar is \"Zhuang Yuan\".
how you say #2 or #3 scholar, in Chinese ?

My mother told me before:

#2--Bang Yan 榜眼
#3-- Tan Hua 探花

Stand to be corrected.

Thank you very much for your kind help for those who answered my question.

Don't even think about the possibility of not getting into his 6 choices. Use your choices wisely. Make sure there is at least 1 school if not 2 that he can definitely get into. Don't let the computer choose your 7th choice for you.

Dis is excellent advice fr jtoh.
Dis is not d time to gamble with ALL six choices to get into d school u wish to get into.
