:shock: Congratulations! Then again, I never doubted that your kid will do well.
By the way, we have just updated our http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/singapore-primary-schools-ranked-academic-excellence. We have a new winner: Nanyang Primary School which blew past Raffles Girls Primary School to take the crown! But what is more heartening is to see the schools below continuing or even improving on their previous year's performance at generating national top students:
Anglo-Chinese School (Junior)
Yew Tee Primary School
Nan Chiau Primary School
West Grove Primary School
Chua Chu Kang Primary School
East Spring Primary School

How to get individual primary school PSLE 2008 performance?
-
Sniper Angel, some schools post it on their websites, some schools don’t. And different schools also use different numbers eg. some publish %A/A* and some use the average T-score. Guess u got to call the individual school to ask, MOE dont publish that.

Hi,Yes, at the end of the day, I still feel that if our kids put in their best, and we, as parents do our part to guide them , we should all be happy with the outcome. Other aspects of their live are important too, not just academic.
But of course, it is every child & every parent's wish to do well & be in a good school.
Nice having that short \"chat\" with all of you... BTW, I'm quite new in this forum.
Have a good & enjoyable school break
Truly agrees with Claire.
My son is not the academically inclined. His Chinese teacher keeps scolding and scolding and his grade keeps dropping. By his 1st prelim, it drops to below 20. Shocking, right?
Fortunately, managed to find a tutor and guess what. He got an A for his Chinese.
Thanks God. -
Saw the 10pm Channel 8 news last night and heard that 44% of the
Nanyang P6 students scored an aggreate of 250 and above..!!!
Impressive!!! :lol: :lol:
Actually you may be surprised to know that RGPS average score last year was 234.....that was what the principal told the parents when my fd went for the P6 talk. :!: :!: -

Yes. 44.4% of NYPS' PSLE cohort scores above 250. 89 of them has 4A*. Top scorer this year also from NYPS. 4 of the nation's top scorers come from the school. The school definitely has a good system in place to churn out students with good results. However, from my observation and analysis, NYPS is also 'blessed' with many favourable conditions for churning out top scholars:Saw the 10pm Channel 8 news last night and heard that 44% of the

(1) NYPS has the biggest GEP cohort every year (4 classes vs 2 in other schools)
(2) Many of the top scorers are transfered from neighbourhood schools either via GEP program or through merit transfers. I understand many of the students who made it for GEP selection test but not the GEP program have appealed to the school for transfer to their mainstream classes.
(3) Majority of NYPS students have very previliged family backgrounds. Many of them have MPs, CEOs, professionals and very high ranking government officers as parents. Good genes ==> nature
(4) Many of the students has educators (eg. school teachers and even university professors) as parents.
(5) Majority of the students go for high-end enrichment centres which charges a few hundred dollars an hour! $$$ can buy ==> nurture
(6) Even in CCAs, many students joined the school already trained by professional trainers outside and therefore already acquired skills fit for winning medals at competitions! Sports, Chess (National square), Caligraphy, & etc.
Take the top scorer this year; father - doctor, mother - ex-lawyer, even grandma is educated enough to teach her Chinese. No tuition? Having a lawyer-trained mother as a tuitor is superior enough.
Is this a level playing field? The answer is NO! In $ingapore, it is very important to be rich and be a somebody. The game is never fairly played. Kids from the HDB heartlanders will definitely loose out to their previlidged-background classmates, even in the same esteemed school. -
Dear Fairy,
Firstly, my child is not in NYPS. I still think the result is excellent and phenomenal. I agree to some extent that NYPS is blessed by the kind of kids that are being pushed there.
As for non level playing fair, it may be true based on your arguments to some extent on the nurture part however I want to bring your attention to the last year top PSLE girl. She would be considered a heartlander and she made history so far in being the highest scorer at 294!!
I read that her mom is SAHM, previously an air-stewardess and her education level is up to "O" levels. Her dad, an SIA technician was "A" levels if I recalled correctly. Whatever it was, both were non-graduates and mother was SAHM.
So my point is, no doubt the cost of nurture may not be affordable sometimes, I still believe God has eyes to see and the exam system is probably the best system so far(unless someone can come up with a better one) in that regardless of rich or poor, parents educated or not, the children can still excel if given the right family support and motivation.
