No. 101 Middle School was originally located in Hebei Province and moved to Beijing in 1949. In recent years, the results of the high school entrance examination have been relatively stable, and the average score has always ranked in the top eight in Haidian District. In 2017, there were few super-first-class players with a total score of "quasi-full score" in the high school entrance examination, but about one-third of the students ranked in the high segment of 555 or more, and seventy percent of the graduates met the admission score requirements of Haidian District Demonstration High School.
101 Middle School has a beautiful environment. Covering an area of about 200,000 square meters, the main campus was built on the original site of the Old Summer Palace, and the buildings generally adopt blue-gray exterior walls, which are harmonious and unified with the Qichun Garden. There are also three artificial lakes on campus, among which Juvenile Lake has the best scenery, with lotus leaves in summer, ducks, geese and other waterfowl roosting, and wild cats that occasionally sneak into the classroom to forage for food. In addition to the classical pavilion and lake, the university also intends to build a swimming pool, but since the campus is located in the Old Summer Palace, this is not an easy move.
101 Middle School has excellent teacher resources. A total of more than 40 people have won the title of backbone teacher or subject leader, and many of the 16 special teachers have won national and municipal medals. In addition, in 2017, among the first batch of senior primary and secondary school teachers in Beijing, a total of two from 101 schools in Haidian were selected, and only six middle school teachers in Haidian District were honored.
As early as 20 years ago, the junior high school of 101 Middle School widely selected students through the Primary School Olympiad, and set up a "Yuanming Cup" for this purpose. Today, Middle School students have also won many awards in math competitions. In 2015, a total of 15 students were selected for the honor roll of the AMC8 competition, and it is important to know that only the top 5% of all participants will receive this award. From 2013 to 2015, a total of 43 students won the first, second and third prizes in the National Junior High School Mathematics Joint Competition. In the 9th National Middle School Students' Mathematics, Physics and Problem Solving Skills Exhibition, 256 people won awards, of which 18 were shortlisted for the national finals.
Many students have a strong interest in the glass botanical garden on campus, but there is no only way to get close to nature. The university will regularly organize "scientific expeditions" to Xishuangbanna, Lijiang, Hainan, Hangzhou, Gansu Gobi Desert, etc., with the goal of "expeditions" to investigate species, understand local culture, and experience survival in the wild, which is close to the fun holiday trip led by highly educated tour guides.
Gradually strengthening the weight of sports in admissions is likely to be one of the future development directions of 101. Since the implementation of the "combination of sports and education" policy, the teaching achievements of the women's volleyball team of 101 Middle School have gradually shone brightly, and its high-talented students have been selected for the women's national volleyball team for a long time after 2013 and participated in the World Championships and the Olympic Games. After Beijing's successful application for the Winter Olympics, 101 Middle School set its sights on ice hockey, and has repeatedly contacted world-class coaches to organize training, and its hockey team also went overseas for training in 2016. The school has publicly expressed its intention to introduce ice and snow sports into the middle school, and expects to form an ice hockey team by grade, but the 2017 enrollment did not show the demand for ice and snow sports, and it seems that it will take time to achieve this goal.
The enrollment of 101 junior high school is usually between 400 and 480 students, and the selection mechanism has fluctuated in recent years, but its public boarding enrollment policy is relatively relaxed among Haidian famous schools, and it has steadily enrolled 200 students for five consecutive years. There may be an implicit selection process for public boarding at 101 Middle School, and the school usually pays more attention to the honorary title of "Three Good Students".
101 Middle School generally has 12 classes, of which 4 classes are experimental classes. Jinfan Education seems to be an important way for 101 Middle School to recruit 80 students in two batches to form two experimental classes. The other two experimental classes are selected by registration, public boarding, and specialty students through placement examinations.
101 Middle School does not assign too much homework, but the atmosphere of cram school is stronger, and mathematics cram school is the mainstay. The atmosphere of 101 Middle School can be seen from the amount of homework, but its relaxed atmosphere is limited to a certain framework. The school stipulates that students cannot go out to buy enough snacks during the school day and must eat in the cafeteria. The junior high school magazine "Yiyuan" was only officially launched in March 2017, and the content of the junior and senior high school clubs of 101 Middle School is not as rich as that of the High School Affiliated to the National People's Congress and the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University.
As a famous school in Haidian, the high school entrance examination results of 101 Middle School are not super first-class, but the school's selection and screening mechanism is not very strict, and in the public boarding sector, its enrollment is more than the total number of students affiliated to the National People's Congress and Tsinghua High School. Another characteristic of 101 is that in recent years, the proportion of students enrolled in the school is about 20%, which is also higher than that of other famous schools in Haidian. In addition to Jinfan Education, about 30% of the students in Xiyuan Primary School usually enter 101 Middle School for further study. In the next few years, the enrollment pathway for special talents may be limited by the Education Commission, so the proportion of other students will also fluctuate, which is due to the general environment and is difficult to avoid. In addition, students with humanistic talents can focus on 101 Middle School, whose high school has a strong humanistic atmosphere.
