The rate of students going into that school is so low that the school has an affiliation of 200 points (20 for the new psle scoring system) in order to make sure every class has 30 students at least.

The students there are very friendly and caring, there are totally no mischievous people who jailbreak school pdlps or break classroom appliances.

Most of the teachers there are very friendly and caring, but some really cannot teach.For example,one of the teachers doesn't know how to write a capital Q properly while the other teaches mother tongue but uses English and talks about irrelevant stuff during lesson. Some are bias as well, some perverted.

The cca choices subject combinations are so limited that it is really called the budget school.
