please also pm me too. I have to find a school for my daughter too.
I removed some personal content and quote the major chunk here. No right or wrong answer or which one better than other.......
Pls take the considerations as a checklist, you may have your own comments and considerations.....

........
Back to your question, I first declared my boy's situation. We didn't apply both SPCC and DBS when he was 6; as we preferred him to study in a local Christian and caring school due to he might be a slow learner. ...... He applied both SPCC and DBS in P6, both were in waiting list, finally he got in DBS through written examination in July. Our cases and experience may not match your expectation, but I can share some of my observations and my son's view with you.
My wife and I are highly regard both schools are excellent in most dimensions, if we set aside the DSS Audit Commission Report (It's a joke to me). As we live in HK side, personally we prefer SPCC which is near and our friends' kids are very polite and presentable. it's our dream school. But my son doesn't like SPCC kids, his ground was they are not so street smart as DBS boys and too upper middle-class compared with DBS..........
My son was in Stanford UnIversity .......EPGY summer school before P6. In the program, total 80 students from all over the world and 4 from HK included my son ..........2 of them are DBS boys. My son's comment is they are "play hard, work hard", smart but a bit arrogant and fit his style. So DBS becames his dream school over QC.
Non-systematic comparison:
Religious DBS = SPCC
Academic results DBS < SPCC
Extracurricular Activities DBS > SPCC
Network DBS = SPCC
We prefer co-edu over single gender school
Teaching DBS < SPCC
Languages DBS < SPCC
IBDP DBS =/> SPCC
Facilities DBS = SPCC
Transportation DBS < SPCC
(assume live HK side)
Exposure DBS = SPCC
School fee DBS =/> SPCC
(the fee included overseas exchange and trips in SPCC)
Boarding facilities DBS > SPCC
The comparison included both primary and secondary sections.
Over all, I will opt for...........
My last suggestion, take a day, bring him to both schools as site visit on Saturday. let him moves around and has gut feeling which he likes most. Is there any his close friends also admitted into said school(s)? This may be more important than the criteria I listed above. Just for your info, my son picked his primary and secondary school after family discussion.
I hope my views can provide some useful view and or double confirm your views so that you make a wise choice for your boy.
