agree with doodb, since it is an option - means your son score for NA is high - consider sch with high NA COP - the T&L should have established & some quality . Also, it is true your ds can move to express if he can do well in sec1/2 . Is the ac family taking in NA students this yr? u can cosider as ac is under methodist church org , a embracing and holistic place to bloom n grow all kids.
I can certainly understand that it may seem like Kiasuparents' kids are all doing well. Don't feel discouraged or overwhelmed.xueyan\" post_id=\"2004283\" time=\"1606356064\" user_id=\"6643:
I am really really shy to post here as everyone got such good grades. My ds got aggregate that can either go Express or NA. How should we choose?
For NA/Express Option band, I think it really depends on what you and your child's assessment is, on whether the child is an Express calibre child, and wants to pursue Express.
To me, if PSLE results are pulled down by Mother Tongue, I would say, MT is far less 'important' in Sec School, as one can always take CL-B instead of the normal Chinese syllabus. I've seen kids with 3As and 1C and having super low PSLE scores.
Also, some schools do give NA kids opportunities to transfer to Express at the end of Sec 1, if the child fares well.
It is also true that in the Option Band, there are more options to get into certain mission schools, or 'better' schools if one chooses NA. The choices for Express schoools may be more limited. -
Anyone knows what is ESIS cut off this year?

From what I have heard, Fairfield Methodist also provides a pretty nurturing environment for NA. In fact, the class size used to halve in Sec 2, as they split 40 kids into two classes in Sec 2 subsequently, to give the kids more care. Not sure if they still practice this now.

Last year MOE's school finder page included info like COP, median, CCA achievements etc. but this year the info is not shown.
Instead I managed to find this site, but in order to see different school's info you have to manually change the 4 digit school code in the address bar. If there is another MOE page that allows the info to be accessed more easily pls share the link. Thanks.

Is it just me or are the psle scores very low this year? A friend’s daughter who is good at her studies but not the exceptional type, I was expecting her to get 240+ but she got 231. Another friend’s son I expected a 260+ but he got 254. I wonder what happened to the kids.

My daughter gotten 248 +2
Thinking to put
1. Scgs o lvl
2. Rvhs
3. Cedar girls o lvl
4. Crescents girls
As top 4 choice. Is it safe to say my daughter can at least get in to crescents girls as her 4th choice? -

Unless there are reasons such as school culture etc that make a difference to the choice order, would you consider putting them by order of 2020 COP (highest to lowest) instead?

Crescent Girls seems like a fairly safe safety net but do use your 5th and 6th choices wisely too. -

Will putting crescents girls as 5th or 6th choice hinder her chance of getting in to the Sch?

My friends advice me to put crescents as 1st choice to be safe.
