It is a hidden gem yes. I recall earlier there was a parent asking between SCSS and another top girls school, SCSS is only opp her home.

Personally, I think +- AL1 in COP does not translate directly to the standard of schools. A change of P, change of school policy, DSA intake etc Yes, not +- of 1 COP.

+ 1 COP could mean that there were kids/parents wanted to school so badly, they are willing to risk putting the school in 1st choice to try their luck. Depending on the actual Cut off segment, no change in COP could mean there was no other +1 COP putting in their high choices in that year. So we have to see the intake of the schools too, whether they are full house or reduced intake.

On affliation, some schools are miracle makers to have to handle a spectrum of kids with sparse ability level, must kuddos to them. They believe in giving every child a chance. There are merits in putting kids in such environment. Kids can grown in their own pace.

Do you have a child considering?? know anyone in the school now? How it operates? That may be more helpful.

Sadly, the current P is leaving and will be taken over by new P. It is a FSBB school now, and was one of the earlier pilot SBB. It has relatively long history and strong CCA records. Two CCA days per week. Ends school at 3pm. Some open info for consideration. Do attend the P talk. You will get more helpful info.

Based on the above website, SCSS is becoming the top dog in the West. For many years, it was neck and neck with Bukit Panjang Govt High in the area.

Now, it's COP is ahead of BPGH, Crescent Girls, and on par with Nan Hua as the #1 non-affiliated school.

That said, I do wonder how much value other parents attribute to the fact that a school is a top non-affiliated school. I always thought that was a strong plus point from a number of perspectives:
1. What-you-see-is-what-you-get i.e. if the COP is 11, there will not be any students with more that 11 points (aside from a small % of DSA kids). Unlike schools like ACS Barker, where will be kids at 21-22 points even though COP is 8.
2. Less cliques from primary school

On the flip side, many of the affiliated schools have very strong alumni dynamics which could be beneficial down the road for the kids (once they break through the cliques issue).

Happy to hear from other parents as to whether this - top non-affiliated school - was a point of consideration for SCSS. Or what the other key reasons for selecting SCSS are.

Is there a gate to the school on the side of the bus stop with bus service 188? Or do students have to walk one big round to the main entrance?

188 alight at school back gate
