working_cow:i think this year qifa also most likely need to ballot...which has never happened before in the past years...partially due to the '2009 top student' effect...*sigh*...this year is such a difficult year for P1 enrolment! Wonder the trend will continue next year??? Ask the german octopus???
chiekiasu,thanks for ur reminder!
ya,i also think so,we cann’t think it’s a good school simply according to the amount of the top sudents.But as u know,only those famous school have more than 3 top students in past 5years,since my daughter maybe cann’t enroll in Nanhua,so it’s hard to make decision only can refer to those data.I think i 'll ask some friends for more information about the 2 schools later.
BTW:Maybe i’t s time fo us to consider move to those famous school:)
ya,u r right!clemti PS IN 2007got one above 270,while qifa got 2 in 2004 and 2007.i got from here:
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/singapore-primary-schools-ranked-academic-excellence
Maybe 3 years later i will try to appy both two schools then select which one.
thanks,Luanee!it seems very hard to select,qifa no need conducted balloting even in 2C,I can sure my daughter can enrol, but the score looks more better,for clemnti PS even need balloting ,but in recent 10 years no one can got above 275 in PLSE.
Coz there are only a few HDB near qifa,only those private houses, and near clmenti PS are all HDB, the application is more than qifa ,then it’s more popular,right?

My daughter will registrate at 2012,so i submited the application as volunteer for nanhua primary school,after 1 month it was rejected!so dispointed!
which school is better near my house?qifa primary school or clementi primary school?
it seems that the academic score of the first one is better than the later,but the later seems more popular?which one a?
