Why? Cost or what?
I would usually look at the student body of the secondary section.
The majority of YX secondary students are local cantonese speaking students. Not only this, but the teachers as well, are mostly local. YX is usually a stepping stones for many who were unable to get admission to other international schools. I would not say it is not a good school. On the contrary, I heard that it is extremely popular amongst local students who would very much like to get into a english medium secondary school (but failed to do so). To these students, YX is a "good school" because it offers them an alternative to local school education.
Honestly, if you ask around, other international schools accept local school students too at different year levels. However, most students prefer to get to other schools like ESF, HKIS, etc, IF THEY HAVE A CHOICE. Only when they are unable to get admission to these "more preferred" schools, would they consider YX.
I would never say YX is not a good school, because I am sure, to many students, it is in fact a very good school because it gave them a chance to receive international school education, even with low English standard.
I believe that one reason local parents prefer international schools because of the language environment. Then what is the point if you are putting your child in YX, where almost all the time, he would be using cantonese on campus anyway? Would that sound more like a usual local school, just that you are to pay a much higher fees?
For parents like me, whose children speak very little cantonese, we would feel that it would be hard for our children to fit because of the limited cantonese that our children speak.
