impressive results for the 1st cohort
Why ESF was considered bad?  Average point 36.1 (861 students) was higher than the pre-covid average (no grade inflation).  Malvern's 1st cohort was 15 students (not yet fact checked).

ESF成績很好啊，畢業生那麼多，這個分數已非常不錯了。人數越多，分母越大，越難高分。

So true. For ESF basically the whole school is taking IB; whereas in DBS, SPCC etc only the top students got to go to IB classes - of course the average score will be jacked up.

DSB, SPCC 同其他DSS有IS programmes 係咪英文全部考Eng A HL/SL?

每人總要至少有一科Language A, 唔考Eng A, 就考Chi A, 個人覺得這方面各有強項

正是，根本有些學校只選精英去考，和全校學生去考比較成績完全不公正，全校去考－定有些較差的同學拉低平均分，所以根本不能直接比較。

Malvern 是新校，第一屆畢業生只有15人，咁所以都算係全校學生去考嘅

But to be fair, government have restrictions on the number of students taking IB in DSS schools like DBS and SPCC, not like they intentionally made the IB classes a privilege only for the brighter students. For IS there is no such restriction so ESF, Malvern etc. have the whole school taking IB.

For more clarity, SPCC chooses who gets to do IB and who doens't get to do IB.  This is based on who their academic scores and such.  

So for those students who are deemed not worthy enough, they are NOT allowed to take the IB in SPCC.
So yes, the marks are jacked up and it's quite elitist if you ask me.

not to mention just for admission to school alone is already super selective.

Hence, I would say ESF has done a great job given that it is a non-selective school and the cohort population is large!

Based on exam results released, I think SPCC is the only one that gets impressive results both in IB and in DSE.  So students not allowed to take IB still do very well in DSE.  
The only tiny bit that falls short of my expectation is that 50% or slightly less than 50% of SPCC's IB students in the past took Eng A (data for 2023 not yet released).  I would expect most students of such an elite school would be doing both Chinese A and English A.

Of course IB subject choices depend on a number of factors.  I simply refer to the 2 language groups.

We can look at each individual ESF school when comparing with other IS, the cohort size would be more reasonable by then. Sha Tin College ESF usually had better results than other ESF schools.

It's an impressive result for a new school (Malvern) though the sample is not that large. Could anyone share more teaching style of Malvern College, do you think it will be a competitive IS?

Is there a grading or results by ESF location that can be shared?  I also don't believe all ESF's are equal.  I heard King George V is very strong as well.
I just want to know how each ESF secondary school has performed with IB scores.
