[Added 20 Oct 2024: See the latest Secondary Schools Ranking (2024 PSLE Achievement Level Score Cut-Off)]
[Updated 27 Apr 2021: See latest ranking based on indicative Achievement Level cut-off scores based on 2021 intake.]
We have updated our best secondary school ranking list based on the 2020 intake. Anxious parents can now better decide which secondary schools their post-PSLE kids should choose. Note that PSLE results will be released on Wednesday 25th November 2020.
Similar to previous years, we rank all secondary schools based on the PSLE cut-off points (COP) of their 2020 intake. If 2 schools have the same COP, we further rank them by the highest PSLE points they accepted.
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 2019 intake) article to see how the schools’ positions have changed.
