Top Primary school?
-
ChiefKiasu:
I think they are not \"IN\" because the top pupils do not take PSLE anymore,
RGS did not even have a single student in that list.super_dad:
Tao Nan is top??? wow....
Surprised that RGS is at the bottom of the five.
In fact, the following GEP schools have very conspicuous no-shows in the top 15 last year:
Raffles Girls, Rosyth, Henry Park, Catholic High, and ACS Primary
They were pipped by the so-called neighbourhood schools:
Geylang Methodist, West Grove Primary, Canossa Convent, Nan Chiau and Kong Hwa.
they are in some \"direct path\" scheme...
Please correct me if I'm wrong... -

I've heard this reason cited quite often for the seemingly lack of students from the 'top' schools in PSLE rankings.I think they are not \"IN\" because the top pupils do not take PSLE anymore,

Please correct me if I'm wrong...
This is because the best of cohort are already accepted into the secondary school of their choice and they spend little to no effort for their PSLE. Usually for Direct Admission Scheme (DAS), they only need to pass their PSLE.
To be honest, for 99% of all 12 year olds, if you told them that they only need to pass to qualify, then they are not likely to give you anything more... -
Top Pri Sch = Top PSLE result
I would think the follow Pri schools which have GEP programme would most likely (although not always) produce Top PSLE results.
- Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) Boys
- Catholic High School (Primary)* Boys
- Henry Park Primary School Co-ed
- Nan Hua Primary School* Co-ed
- Nanyang Primary School* Co-ed
- Raffles Girls’ Primary School Girls
- Rosyth School Co-ed
- St Hilda’s Primary School Co-ed
- Tao Nan School* Co-ed -

I agree with you. After all, they are the top 1% of the whole cohort.Top Pri Sch = Top PSLE result
I would think the follow Pri schools which have GEP programme would most likely (although not always) produce Top PSLE results.
- Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) Boys
- Catholic High School (Primary)* Boys
- Henry Park Primary School Co-ed
- Nan Hua Primary School* Co-ed
- Nanyang Primary School* Co-ed
- Raffles Girls' Primary School Girls
- Rosyth School Co-ed
- St Hilda's Primary School Co-ed
- Tao Nan School* Co-ed
This makes me wonder something. How does those students (in GEP school but not in GEP class) fare? Wonder any students (that come from normal classes) actually tops the PSLE results? I will be impressed if normal classes can also produce top PSLE result. Then that school can be really considered. -

Anyone knows where to look for probability of students getting to Secondary School for all primary schools and even better the percentage for each stream.

Each school will announce these stats to parents of graduating P6 students when they receive their PSLE results. Some will post these stats on their school website so you can check there. -
Top school means top scorer’s score?
If top scorer is 290 but the next best score is 240. Will this school still be considered top school? -
Let’s compare two schools, both are in top 20. This was their 2010 rsults. School A produced > 30 students with 4 A* and an average T score of 210+. School B produced just > 10 students with 4 A* and an average T score of 230+. which school do you think produced a better results?

PSLE is placement exam so aggregate score is more important.
But based on current system, it might not be that difficult to achieve higher aggregate score (ie organise student recruitment overseas especially non english speaking cos leeway given for them to catch up @ the disadvantage of the majority of students).
