In the good news of many primary schools in Shenzhen, the data of students entering classes 3 2 and 3 of Shenzhen Middle School are often listed separately, which shows the strength of their junior high school.
Shenzhen Middle School, formerly known as Honghu Middle School, was built in July 1985 and is an ordinary complete middle school in Luohu District, which passed the evaluation of the Municipal Education Supervision Office in 1996. In July 1998, Honghu Middle School merged with Shenzhen Middle School and was renamed Shenzhen Middle School Junior High School (hereinafter referred to as "Shenzhen Middle School"). In addition, since the school's school tree and school song are "phoenix wood", "phoenix wood" is also used to refer to Shenzhong.
From 2012 to 2016, the number of students admitted to the four major schools was between 150~210, and the rate of the four major schools remained at the level of 23%~36%. According to the data of mainstream private educational institutions, the number of students admitted to Shenzhen High School in 2017 was 448, and 134 students were admitted to the Big Four, with a rate of 29.91%; 177 students were admitted to the Eight Universities, with a rate of 39.51%, ranking fourth in the city; 185 students were admitted to the top ten, with a top ten rate of 41.29%, ranking sixth in the city; The number of public admissions was 347, and the public high school rate was 77.46%.
The school is located in Beili South Road, Luohu District, covering an area of 26,602 square meters. The school's sports facilities include a 300-metre running track, basketball courts, badminton courts, volleyball courts and table tennis courts, as well as a canteen, a bookstore and a convenience store. There are also hospitals, supermarkets, banks, and restaurants outside the campus. However, due to the long time of the construction of the junior high school, its buildings are relatively old.
In 2017, Shenzhen Middle School recruited 6 classes for local students, 2 special classes, 4 classes for 3 2 classes and 4 for 3 3 classes, of which a new "liberal arts class" was added, and special students and local students were assigned to a special student class. The admission standard of the "liberal arts class" is the full score of Chinese in the selection examination for primary school promotion organized by the school, and the training of the class focuses on liberal arts, but there is no accurate answer to whether it will continue to be offered in 2018.
The 3 2 class and the 3 3 class in the deep middle school are often compared. Class 3 2 is taught in the high school, focusing on competition, mathematics adopts the school's own textbooks, which is difficult, the overall course progress is the fastest, and students can take the college entrance examination in the second year of high school. 3 Class 2 also has a slightly more curriculum, in addition to mathematics focusing on competitions, Chinese focusing on reading and writing, English also expands oral English, and foreign teachers are hired to teach classes. At the same time, the class has a large amount of homework and a lot of study pressure, and the number of girls in the class is very small. However, the class management of Class 3 and 2 is relatively relaxed, which is intended to cultivate students' self-awareness. Students in Class 3 2 also need to take the high school entrance examination, and if their grades are not satisfactory, they can stay in high school but transfer to other classes. Students who are interested in entering Class 3 2 can submit their resumes on the school's official website, and students who have obtained the admission qualification of Huafu will also have the opportunity to be admitted to 3 2 Point Recruitment.
Class 3 3 can be regarded as a supernormal class in the junior high school, and the mathematics class uses the same school-made textbooks as the 3 2 class, and the overall course progress is slower than that of the 3 2 class but faster than the ordinary class. In terms of curriculum, 3 3 is not as extended as 3 2, but Chinese and English are still supplemented with other teaching materials, such as Chinese speech and spoken English. 3 3 There is also a lot of homework, and students often don't finish it until 12 p.m. And the class aims at the high school entrance examination, and is relatively strict in management. Students in class 3 3 can enter class 3 2 by examination if they have outstanding grades.
In addition to the above two classes, the study pressure of other classes in Shenzhen Middle School is also not small, the usual homework needs at least two hours to complete, and it is common for students to sign up for various tutoring classes outside the school. In 2016 and before, the school offered physics classes in the first year of junior high school, and in 2017, the physics class in the first year of junior high school was optional, but due to the large number of students who registered, they needed to take the exam before they could participate. The school ends at 4:40 p.m. every day, after which students must run in the playground before they can go home.
Although there is a lot of pressure to study, there are also a variety of clubs in Shenzhen High School, including animation club, basketball club, film club, etc., and students can also apply to relevant teachers to start clubs. At the same time, the school also holds track and field games, top ten singer competitions, class performances and other activities in the high school, but unfortunately some activities are not allowed for junior high school students.
Class 3 and Class 3 and ordinary classes in the junior high school adopt a day system, no accommodation is arranged, and you can go home at noon or eat at school; Class 3 and 2 in the high school can arrange accommodation, and the dormitory is an 8-person room. The cafeterias on both campuses offer a wide variety of dishes, but students say that the taste is "not good".
