In 2016, 18 students scored higher than 570 points, accounting for about 1/3 of the total number of students in the district, and 158 students scored higher than 560 points, accounting for about 1/4 of the total number of students in the district. In the past 17 years, the high school entrance examination results of the No. 5 Middle School Branch have always ranked first in Dongcheng District, and the contribution of high-level students can also be proud, and it is considered to be the undefeated and lonely king of Dongcheng.

In 2017, the number of students with a total score of more than 560 in the fifth branch of the high school entrance examination decreased slightly. Many people attribute this to the cooperation between the branch of No. 5 Middle School and Guozijian Middle School, but the two schools only taught the first and second classes of junior high school after 2015, and although the 2017 graduates spent their third year of junior high school in Guozijian Middle School, the main reason was the renovation of the main teaching building. The 2014 reform of the admissions policy may have been the "culprit" behind the slight decline in the grades of the No. 5 Middle School branches, when 324 students were admitted through the allocation of places.

Even so, the No. 5 Middle School branch still occupies a leading position in Dongcheng District. In 2017, a total of 137 students received full marks in a single subject, and the overall score of the whole school was 87%, which is more holistic than that of the No. 2 Middle School Branch. In addition, Guozijian Middle School has also made great progress, with an average score of about 20 points higher than that in 2016, which can reflect the correct professional attitude of the teachers of the No. 5 Middle School Branch. The faculty of Dongcheng District is not comparable to Haidian and Xicheng, but the rich experience and high conscientiousness make the No. 5 Middle School Branch have a good processing capacity.

All districts in Beijing are in the same city, but the concepts of primary and secondary education are very different. Haidian District abhors randomness and advocates survival of the fittest. Xicheng District Middle School does not have the right to choose students, and the proportion of direct promotion will exceed 80% after 2020. Dongcheng District is relatively poor in educational resources, but it is a pilot area for education reform, when Xicheng and Haidian are still implementing 6 or 9 years of consistent teaching, Dongcheng District has begun to explore 12 years of consistent teaching, and its protagonist is the five middle school education group founded in 2015.

The 12-year consistent teaching system is intended to dilute the selection competition when promoting junior high school and middle school recruitment, and divides the teaching of primary, junior high and high school into four school systems: 6 3 3, 5 3 4, 6 2 4, and 5 4 3. The No. 5 Middle School Branch will undertake the teaching tasks of 5 3 4, 6 2 4, 6 3 3 3 3 three different types of junior high school teaching, and it can be predicted that the No. 5 Middle School Branch will have more abundant classes in the future. Under the consistent teaching model, the proportion of direct promotion is high, so primary school choice has become particularly important, and parents in Dongcheng seem to need to pay close attention to future trends: No. 5 Middle School, No. 5 Middle School, Guozijian Middle School, Fangjia Hutong Primary School, No. 1 Middle School, East 44 Article Primary School, Foreign Chinese Language School, and Dachang Branch may become pilot schools.

The No. 5 Middle School not only has outstanding achievements in cultural courses, but also attaches great importance to physical exercise, and has ranked first in sports for more than ten consecutive years since its establishment. In the past ten years, the No. 5 Middle School has achieved fruitful results in disciplines, arts, sports, and science and technology competitions, and more than 1,500 students have won national and international awards.

The brilliant achievements of the No. 5 Middle School Branch are due to the strict management of the school. In addition to a large amount of homework, the school also has strict requirements for students' dress and distribution, girls must have short hair, and must show their ears and eyebrows, even students who specialize in dance are no exception. In 2011, the No. 5 Middle School branch has built a canteen, and the food taste is not good, but the temperature can be guaranteed. It should also be noted that the branch of the fifth middle school is divided into two campuses, Di'anmen and Gulou, and the third junior high school students are studying in the drum tower, and Guozijian Middle School has been merged, but from the current situation, it is more likely that the students of Guozijian Middle School will go to the fifth middle school branch to study. The No. 5 Middle School has outstanding results, but the management is very strict, and there are pros and cons to studying in the school, and parents and friends need to weigh carefully.
