I will say LPCUWC.

You can also check what levels of each subject. If some IS encourage students to take Chinese standard B, Maths studies, 6-7 is min.... average is 35+, if other IB schools Chinese in A1 or A2, Maths in SL or HL, average also 35+......

I can't say it's cheating, but not far from there.....

LPC is elite few years before, but it's seems not as good as before. I've heard of South Island School (near HKU). What are your comments on the school? It's looks like their teaching staff are well experienced.

I know a girl at SIS, but I am not in a position to comment on the school. In terms of teachers experience and qualification, LPC should be the best.

After SPCC and DBS have students taking IBDP, will be interesting in the ranking.

Thanks Shoeshine

I start this thread more than a year ago to share the selection between NSS & IB in local schools and not for international schools. As I didn't do much research on IS after my son got into G1 in local school.

In international school sub-forum, more parents share IS & ESF info there.

Anybody got a list of the universities and colleges that the graduates of SPCC and DBS go to?  It seems that only DGS's website gives us such details.

Thanks.

Surprised me, no one admitted into Oxford or Cambridge.

To be honest, I'm not quite surprised to see Oxbridge doesn't become a popular destination-university for the elite school students.
Those (parents) who aim for Oxbridge should have known better that the best way to get into Oxbridge is - budget permitting - to go to a good grammar school in the UK at F3 or F4, take the I/GCSE and proceed to AL with flying colours.  This should be - comparatively - an easier way than taking the NSS or even the IBDP.  These kids won't stay to finish AL/NSS/IB in HK.
Similarly, those eyeing on the Ivy League would go to a good private high in the US.

Those among the creme de la creme would get into a top university no matter what - as they would get excellent results (straight As or IB 44+) anyway.

What you said is common sense to most of us here, you missed the point. Let me elaborate more.....

In all public examinations in HK, SPCC results are better than DBS. As DBS every year had students admitted to Ivy League (This year a newly promoted Yr 2 IBDP student accepted by Columbia in July) and Oxbridge. I felt more students from SPCC.

Students from elite schools more prefer to stay in HK if they aim for professioal programs like medicine in HK. A friend of my son was back from London and rejoined DBS IBDP year 1 as he aims for medicine......

I didn't have the comprehensive list of university admission of both SPCC & DBS. I know only a few cases and not represent the population.

Both schools have IBDP stream is the only way to keep more elite students. I guess after seeing the first batch results, may be more and more students opt for IBDP in both schools.

In F7 of DBS, around 100 students (F6 intake 120).

In HKDSE, ~200 students; IBDP, ~50 students.

In the last few weeks, my son searched the IB score boundaries for his subjects. I hope this may be useful for you all.
