Siblings Cohort Analysis 2021

01 July 2021

In this analysis, we add up the school cohort (estimated population from P1 to P6) vs the number of siblings who took up a spot in Phase 1 of 2021. The higher the % would mean more parents are sending the sibling to the same school.

Parents who have children currently studying in the school know the school best, therefore they can make a good decision for the sibling. If the school is good, send the sibling; if it is bad, give up Phase 1.

There are other factors affecting the % eg. new residential development in the area.

To be coherent with the analysis, we also divided into 3 types of schools:

  1. Single-gender schools
  2. New schools
  3. The rest of the schools

The top schools in the rest are Huamin, Telok Kurau, Northoaks, Angsana, Springdale… This list is quite unlike the usual top schools. Hope it brings you a new perspective. 🤓
