AntheaLin,
No figures are available now because the highest form is P.5. HOwever, they still take the TSA in p.3 and 6. This school does not use active approach in all lessons. My son uses the local Chinese books and GS book, foreign English/science/computer books, Math & You ( i think it's the same as DBSPD). They put a lot of time in building the language literacy in P.1 and therefore it seems like the kids are not as good as other school. However, unlike schools without secondary section, kids don't have to do 'low quality drilling exercise' (do without thinking) to get a place in secondary school in p.5 or 6 here. So sure the students will catch up in due time. I have confident in this school because the parents are all educated and supportive. My son learns no foul language from other kids and they are very friendly to me when I did voluntary service in the school last year. This is what a subsidized /government school may not have.
People always criticize students in HK are weak in critical thinking, I believe this ability can be nurtured from childhood, with more initiative from the students. My son told me that his teacher always open a discussion like 'what is the hotest news in HK this week' in LA lesson. I think it's great to start a lesson like this.
My son might study abroad for higher education so I am not so worried. So I can't answer the question if they are competitive enough for local U. However, the trend is that we will have more than enough university places for students in the future. Look at the new secondary school curriculum, students only need to take 4 subjects to enter university for some majors. So if you understand the education trend well, you know the kids now are not the kids we were in the past. They don't need to have 7 exam papers (including 中英數社科經健)like I did in primary schools.
I want my kids to have good hearts, with initiative and self-motivation, work hard because he want to do well; rather than he's scared that his rank will drop in the exam or scared that parents will hit him if he does not do well.
That's my sharing.
