[Edit: See the rankings for 2016.]
It’s P1 registration season again. 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 is based on how oversubscribed the schools are for Phase 2B. The second is by number of places taken up till Phase 2B, which we believe is a proxy for how popular each school is.
The following are the 13 best primary schools that are oversubscribed, ranked by how oversubscribed they are:
- Tao Nan School – 15
- Nan Chiau Primary School – 13
- Fairfield Methodist School (Primary) – 12
- Methodist Girls’ School (Primary) – 11
- Nanyang Primary School – 8
- St. Joseph’s Institution Junior – 8
- Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) – 7
- CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh) – 6
- CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School – 5
- Canberra Primary School – 4
- Ai Tong School – 3
- Kong Hwa School – 3
- Rulang Primary School – 1
The following is the ranking of all 190 primary schools by the number of places taken up till Phase 2B (inclusive). In parentheses are the numbers for % balance vacancy, balance vacancy and total vacancy.

Your calculation of St marg is wrong. Should be 100 vacancies.
Hmmm… thanks for your comment.
St. Margaret’s has 210 total places, of which 72 have already been taken up and 69 allocated for Phase 2B. See screen shot uploaded to http://i.imgur.com/gBlcopX.png
72 + 69 = 141
210 – 141 = 69
How did you get 100?
