Selecting the right secondary school for your child in Singapore can feel overwhelming. The following rankings offer a clear view of the top schools, based on PSLE Achievement Level (AL) scores. This guide provides a deeper understanding of these rankings, highlighting Integrated Programme (IP) schools, Special Assistance Plan (SAP) schools, and schools with affiliations.
Top-Ranked Schools in 2024:
Methodist Girls’ School (Secondary) IB - AL Cut-Off: 6
Raffles Girls’ School (Secondary) IP - AL Cut-Off: 6
Raffles Institution IP - AL Cut-Off: 6
Hwa Chong Institution IP SAP - AL Cut-Off: 7D (Distinction in HCL)

Top SAP Schools in 2024:

Nanyang Girls' High School IP SAP - AL Cut-Off: 7D (Distinction in HCL)
CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls' School IP SAP - AL Cut-Off: 7M (Merit in HCL)
Note: (D) - Distinction (M) - Merit, (P) - Pass are an indication of the minimum requirement for SAP secondary schools for PSLE Higher Chinese (HCL) Results for applicants. The HCL score will be used as a tie-breaker to determine priority of consideration in the case where the AL result is the same.
Special Considerations:
Integrated Programmes (IP) and International Baccalaureate (IB): These 6-year programmes allow students to bypass O-levels and progress directly to A-levels or IB.
Special Assistance Plan (SAP) Schools: These schools give an advantage to students taking Higher Chinese (HCL). The order of preference in these schools is based on HCL grades, with distinction, merit, and pass being prioritized.
Affiliated Schools: Some secondary schools have affiliations with primary schools or junior colleges, providing additional advantages in the posting exercise.
