The last column in the chart is to show whether a school offers an IB alternative. Both GSIS and ISF only offers IB so all of their students will have to take the test.

ISF used to be a very small school with 30 or so students in each grade (limited by the size of its temporary campus in Wanchai). There will be a big bump in the number of graduates from 2018/19 onward.

both have single curriculum unlike DBS/SPCC (DSE+IB), or ESF (IB + BTEC).

GSIS has always been a small school.

知錯肯認，欣賞你！
不過，你之前語氣確實是責怪多過提醒。
我也明白打字會有點影響。我打中文也非常慢。
事過境遷，希望大家和平共處，前事不計。

我們的交流主要為了下一代幸福，大家客客氣氣咪幾好。

大部分香港人已經壓力爆煲。夫妻間也要相敬如賓，互相尊重，何況素未謀面的朋友呢！

Hi HKTHK

Very Very appreciate your work.

How about add no. of 狀元 (i.e. 45points) for each school?

bobbycheung

其實IB無狀元，因每一科考獲7分的難度都唔同，有d仲相距很大。例如舊年只有2％人在History HL 考獲7分，Georgraphy HL 及 Economic HL 就有13％。其實都有興趣知道每校學生實際入讀那一大學的資料。大家遲d有嘅話不妨分享吓。好多學校只列大學offers，但隨時幾個好嘅offers 係屬於同一個叻學生。當然 US colleges 亦有 legacy preferences 的問題而影響申請大學結果。All in all, 沒有一樣比較係全面嘅，總之各考生己盡力就已經係"狀元"。

Radiomama

這些要靠insider每年去填補了。

Thought about it before but decided to exclude since not sure what getting 45 points really mean. I am unconvinced that it is necessarily representative of a school's quality since getting 44 vs 45 points can just be a matter of luck. It is also a sample of one person. An average of over 40 points seem to be a better indication of quality? What do you think?

I have similar comments from different professors from different Us, they observed that 42-45 not much difference, except luck in the exam.

Also Cambridge did a longitudinal study about 777, 776, 766 , not much difference to get first class honour.

Therefore I support your point no need to list out 45 figure.

要列出每位學生在兩科語文是選擇A，B或 AB Initio 似乎不太可行。不過，在IBO網站上，是可以看到每間學校今年所報考的科目。

Agreed to your point of view:  44 vs 45 points, a matter of luck and indication of quality.

But fact is fact.  Let readers to interpret the figures.  For me, some schools have high average scores but no 45 points students but some low average scores but have 45 points students.  For the latters, figures could show the quality of their headmaster's marketing skill to 老吹 how excellent their shools.

It is fine with me not to show the figure as you have already done the great job. Just suggestion.

IB 兩科語文是 LangA+LangA 或 LangA+LangB 是會影響 IB 總分的直接比較 ，最好每間學校都有這項資料 ...

同意，因為極少數人能夠選擇兩科Lang A, 而能夠同時在每科各取7分。另外，不少人(包括認識的IB學生家長）誤會Bilingual Diploma等同兩科Lang A。其實，以香港學生為例，如果中文科選擇Lang A, 那麼，無論英文科選擇A, B或ab Initio , 拿到的Diploma 就一定是Bilingual
。反之，香港大部分的國際學校在英文科只提供Lang A 給學生選擇，他們要在中文科(或另外的語文科）同時選擇Lang A, 才有機會拿到Bilingual Diploma, 所以是有一定的難度。

不是誤會, 是有兩個方法可取得 bilingual diploma, 而大部分人期望是透過考取兩個 first languages 去取 bilingual diploma

同意。無論IB抑或DSE,傳媒一向都把焦點放在所謂”狀元”身上，而忽略學校的整體表現。不難理解個別學校會將資源大力投放在三、數位有潛質的學生身上，催生狀元，以收宣傳效果。心水清的朋友，不難看到，這些學校無論平均分抑或40分以上的學生百分比都是不甚了了。慶幸的是，今年在某些報章，除了報導個別學校狀元人數之外，亦有提及學生平均分及40分以上學生百分比這兩項更重要的指標。

So, it is always good to check whether English B is available at that school, and then look at the % of bilingual diploma at the school.

Another "devil choice" would be the choice of Math studies SL instead of Math SL. This is also another 2 points up.

提外話，AISHK 上年總共有62個學生，21個學生考IB，其餘考HSC。我研究過 AISHK 2015 IB Result，考IB既學生，2個拎45分 (10%)，9個拎40-44分 (43%)，6個拎35-39分 (29%)，4個拎<34分 (19%)。表面上，AISHK 既 IB Result都不錯，但有兩個 hidden 因素令我有些懷疑。
1) 學校是否有篩選，成績好的學生才可讀IB？
2) 考獲40分以上是否學校從小學陪育的學生，或是從其他精英本地中學的外校生？
所以只看學生考IB成績，亦都未必可以清楚學校的學術程度。

To be honest, these 2 factors can happen in other schools too.

As far as I observe, for your point (2), 精英本地中學 students might not really fit in IB as IB is very different curriculum. I know a couple that used to be top students (one from La Sxxxxx, one from XGS), both went to being very mediocre with IBDP. So taking 精英本地中學的外校生 might not necessarily be a good way of boosting up the scores, especially with schools that is doing fine with their own students.
