Secondary School Cut off Point vs Property Price: Does School Ranking Affects Price of Property Around It?

The amount we spend on tuition fees

Ensuring that their children receive the best education has always been one of the priorities for parents.

In fact, parents spend up to S$4,880 per year on tuition for lower primary students, and S$5,760 for upper primary.

TL;DR – Price of property vs Average ranking of secondary schools

Some of the more drastic measures taken by parents include renting or shifting to an apartment near their son or daughter’s school to reduce travelling time.

With this, we assume that the demand for property where top-ranking secondary schools are is higher, hence, their price.

Secondary School Cut Off Point

Most Singaporeans would have labelled the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) a nightmare, having to disrupt childhood for some examination that can “determine your future”.

It is the separation from your childhood friends as we proceed to our separate secondary schools based on PSLE score and cutoff point that affects one the most. (Goodbye Puppy Love!)

Using secondary schools for a start, here are some assumptions made:

  • Assuming high cutoff points equal to “better” school academically

  • Secondary schools are ranked according to their cutoff point in the express stream
