Most Competitive Primary Schools in Singapore (2026)

These are the most oversubscribed primary schools in Singapore, ranked by the number of applicants per available place at the latest ballot. Switch the phase below — competition differs sharply between Phase 2A, 2B and 2C. A higher ratio means more competition, and often that even families living within 1km were balloted.
