Secondary School Ranking In Singapore [2023]
During Mr. Heng Swee Keat’s tenure as the Education Minister of Singapore from 2011 to 2015, he popularized the notion that “every school, a good school”.
Well, before you read too much into that short quote and develop your own interpretations, you may wish to find out more about his actual definition here.
It is worth noting that Singapore functions as a meritocratic society where secondary schools undergo public evaluation using specific criteria.
One widely employed criterion is the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) cut-off point.
To cater to the needs of parents and students seeking objective information for making informed decisions, it is relevant for us to provide rankings of the Integrated Programme (IP) and non-IP secondary schools based on their latest respective PSLE cut-off points.
This ensures transparency and assists individuals in gauging their eligibility for different secondary schools.

Do you wanna know why knowing the PSLE cut-off points for every secondary school in Singapore matters?
It’s because it helps parents and students like you make smart choices about which schools you can actually get into.
So, yeah, it’s a big deal!
But hold on a sec, don’t get too caught up in just those rankings based on the PSLE cut-off points.
There’s more to it than that, my friend.
Remember, it’s not the only factor you should consider when picking your top secondary schools in Singapore.
Yes, there’s a whole bunch of other stuff that you gotta take into account too. So, keep your eyes open and explore all the aspects that matter to YOURSELF.
Like what the former Education Minister for Education Mr. Ong Ye Kung said in 2018:
“We must define a good school from the perspective of the child. If a school meets the needs of the child, it is a good school – never mind if it is not popular or branded. Conversely, I have seen students who went to popular schools and were miserable.”
