[quote=\"Herbie\"]But geppers who score is more than 80% has to go thru another hurdle which is the intervirw.

I heard that there are kids who did not do well during the interview and hence did not get co/wl from the dsa sch.

and some are way > 80% .

I heard that the girls did quite well this year.[/quote]Wonder how many percent of your dd's class score above 80% ?

Someone mentioned that there are about 180 Geppers in RI for each cohort, (sorry forgot who said this and too lazy to go back to check :salute: ), how about the 300 odd others? Does anyone know the percentage of the various schools (HCI, NYGH, RGS, ACSI,etc.) these students go to? TIA

RI - normally 15 classes made up of 30x15=450; of which 7 classes contain about 180 GEPpers plus 30 mainstreamers; the other 8 classes are mainstreamers

HCI - iSpark has about 80 - 90 GEPpers, plus some mainstreamers

RGS - not sure how many classes

NYGH - some one recently posted they have 1 class only ?

some are found in other IP schools


Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal

Hi


I'm asking on behalf of a friend who is currently overseas. Her son is interested to DSA. A little background, they been away since the boy was a toddler. Currently in a gifted programme in their school. The boy has insufficient exposure to the malay language and has an exemption for PSLE. He is interested to try for RI and considering other school. Is it possible to attend HI ?(He's of mixed parentage and his parents likes the culture of the school) What other IP schools offer Malay? Any GEP students taking malay can offer insight to which IP schools? However, is interested to pursue MT in upper levels. Thank you

Pobably still have ACS(I), VS and SJI that offers Malay and is IP school for the boy.

Rgs has 5 classes with geppers and Psle high scorers.

[musette]

Was just wondering whether there is any information on academic value-add for RI and HCI.


Considering the number of geppers and top PSLE scorers enrolled in each of these schools (seems that RI has many more such students) and comparing their ‘A’ Level results, which school is better in terms of academic value-addedness?

Thanks!

Someone who works in NYGH told me earlier this year tt only 25 GEPers joined the school this year. The cut off will always appear high in NYGH cos those girls from NY Pri sch with t-score of 250 can get entry to NYGH leaving limited places to the rest. Whereas, RGS is purely meritocratic.
