The only primary school directly under Sun Yat-sen University, the first university in South China, has no branch school, and the cow babies in the private school are gathered, and the results and disputes coexist.

The number of students admitted to Huafu Olympic School is a strong proof of the quality of excellent students in Guangzhou primary schools. Huafu Olympic School is considered a seminary by parents in Guangzhou, and it only enrolls more than 100 students a year in the province, which can be described as one in a million. In 2017, in the admission list of Huafu Olympic School, CUHK Primary School won 8 places, second only to Huafu Primary School, the eldest son of Huafu University. In addition, the number of winners of the Hua Cup is also a strong basis, in 2017, in the ranking of the number of winners in the Guangzhou Division of the 22nd National Hua Cup, the Primary School Affiliated to CUHK ranked fourth with 13 students, and it is the only private primary school in the top five, which can be seen in the quality of teaching.

It is true that the parents of the attached primary school often say that the affiliated primary school of CUHK is only suitable for students who are advanced in learning, have spare time in learning, and have excellent psychological quality. The teaching content is both extensive and profound, with two sets of textbooks for mathematics and Chinese, one for the teaching of the teaching version and the other for the school's own textbooks, which are more difficult, and two sets of textbooks for English, Hong Kong Longman and Guangzhou edition. The classroom is not easy, the first-grade English classroom is already taught in English, the progress of Chinese classroom teaching is very fast, and the homework outside the classroom pays great attention to students' critical thinking, although the number of homework is not large, but students need to spend time thinking and digesting, which is manifested in less repetitive copying homework and more inquiry-based homework; The ability to take the test accounts for the majority of the students' ability training, and the intensity and difficulty of various tests and examinations should not be underestimated. In all respects, the test-oriented teaching of CUHK and Primary School will undoubtedly put a huge pressure on average secondary students. In addition, the attached primary school spends most of its resources on teaching, which naturally does not give students a rich and colorful extracurricular life, and there are almost no activities in the school.

In terms of living conditions, the middle and large schools attached to the small schools do not have an advantage. The school is located at the west gate of the South Campus of CUHK, and all students are day students, so daily pick-up and drop-off is a problem. In terms of lunch break, CUHK does not have a sleeping room, and the few lunch break places are only for a while to rest on the table, but there are many private childcare classes run by retired faculty members on CUHK, and the conditions are much better than those of the school.

The students from the Primary School Affiliated to CUHK are mainly from the children of Sun Yat-sen University faculty members, and all applicants are screened through interviews. There is an old prejudice against the students of the primary school attached to CUHK - the school accepts many children of the owners of the surrounding cloth markets because of the sponsorship fee, which affects the quality of the students and the learning atmosphere. In fact, since 2016, the sponsorship system has been abolished, and all students except CUHK students are required to pass an interview to obtain a degree. The tuition fee is not cheap, 24,000 yuan per semester, and the annual tuition fee alone is nearly 50,000 yuan. In this way, CUHK Affiliated Primary School has passed the interview and the high tuition fee to ensure the high quality of the students.
