P1 registration for the year 2016 has begun. MOE has released some statistics on the school vacancies after Phase 1, Phase 2A(1), Phase 2A(2) and the post-registration of Phase 2B. (See PDF of printout.)

In this article, we present to you 2 rankings. The first one – which is less scientific – is based on how oversubscribed the schools are for Phase 2B.

The second ranking is by number of places taken up till Phase 2B, which we believe is a good proxy for how popular each school is.

The following are the 15 best primary schools that are oversubscribed, ranked by how oversubscribed they are:

  1. Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) – 29
  2. Chij Primary (Toa Payoh) – 18
  3. St. Joseph’s Institution Junior – 16
  4. Methodist Girls’ School (Primary) – 16
  5. Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School – 14
  6. Fairfield Methodist School (Primary) – 11
  7. St. Andrew’s Junior School – 10

  9. Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) – 6

  12. Chij St. Nicholas Girls’ School – 5
  13. Tao Nan School – 3
  14. St. Hilda’s Primary School – 2
  15. Ai Tong School – 1

The following is the ranking of all 190 primary schools by the number of places taken up till Phase 2B (inclusive).

    Ranking of schools based on oversubscription or number of vacancies filled up at phase 2b are of no meaning. It may show how popular a school is in the former case and the total vacancy in each school will also affect the standing in the latter case. I’m shocked that some parents take your statistics literally when they plan to enroll their child for P1.
    Perhaps the average aggregate of PSLE in each school will better reflect the strength of the schools, if the results are available to the public.
