Btw, I would like to point out that out of the 160+ sec schools in S’pore, only 60+ make it to the banding list. There are 100 more sch that do not even make the list (of course the ip sch are not included), so actually a band 9 sch is not too bad at all, at least it is in the top 60 or so!Anyway, take for example bukit batok sec and evergreen sec have the same cop of 222 but one is band 5 and the other band 9. So the banding is a pretty important bit of info in helping parents make an informed decision.Well, the decision of sec sch banding has been made. No turning back, I guess. For me, I’ll be scouring the individual sch websites to see if there’s any info on the schs’ o lvl performance for 2011 and compile a hodge-podge diy list.
