Top Secondary Schools (2019 cut-off)

[Update 2020: see our 2020 list at Secondary Schools Ranking (2020 PSLE cut-off)]

We have updated our best secondary school ranking list. This will help zealous parents decide which schools their post-PSLE kids should select. Note that PSLE results will be released in late November (likely to be Thursday 21st November).

In this post, we rank all secondary schools based on the PSLE cut-off points of their 2019 intake.

Schools offering 6-year programmes, i.e. Integrated Programme (IP) and International Baccalaureate (IB), are highlighted in bold in our ranking list.

Schools under the Special Assistance Plan (SAP) are also indicated. To get into SAP secondary schools, students in the top 30% of the PSLE cohort who take the Higher Chinese subject will be given bonus points, added to the T-Score, for admission to SAP secondary schools: 3 points for Distinction, 2 points for Merit and 1 for Pass. They will get in if they meet the cut-off point.

Note also that there are some schools with affiliations, which means that pupils from the affiliated primary schools enjoy certain advantage in the posting exercise. For example, if you have a daughter, NYPS arguably offers the most value due to its affiliation with NYGH. The list of secondary schools with affiliations are listed at the bottom of this article (scroll down).

Also, check out last year’s ranking in our Secondary School Ranking (based on cut-off for 2018 intake) article to see how the schools’ positions have changed.
