Four famous schools, eight King Kongs, three immortals, Shanghai's high-quality educational resources have always been exciting, but the first position will always be dominated by Shanghai Middle School, which was founded in 1865, formerly known as Longmen Academy, is still a pioneer in the new era of education in Shanghai.

If you want to judge heroes by data, it is understandable to call Shanghai High School one of the best middle schools in Shanghai and even the country, or even remove the "one". The results of the college entrance examination are the most dazzling, the Qingbei rate and the return rate are significantly ahead of the other three schools, the proportion of students entering 985 colleges and universities such as the University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is nearly 70%, and the proportion of students entering 211 colleges and universities is more than 99%, and 10 of the 13 students who have obtained the highest scores in Shanghai Arts and Sciences in the past six years are from Shanghai Middle School. There is no point in talking about a rate, first of all, because the concept of a rate is outdated, and secondly, a rate itself is watery, in addition to 985, 211, Huazheng, a rate also contains a large number of colleges and majors with two attributes and one enrollment, so what is important in Shangzhong is the rate of repetition, the rate of Qingbei and the signing rate of famous foreign schools, it is also the school with the most independent selection and enrollment in Shanghai, and the average score of the college entrance examination is higher than the admission line of Jiaotong University is not a joke.

Sitting on the top students in the city, the pride of Shangzhong is certainly not a string of numbers that can be vaguely covered, and the excellent course with deep internal strength is the foundation of Shangzhong. In 2008, Shanghai Middle School took the lead in constructing a curriculum map, which consists of three parts: the moral education curriculum map, the learning area curriculum map, and the advantage potential development curriculum expectation map. The Advantage Potential Atlas is the three experimental classes of mathematics, science and technology and engineering in Shanghai Middle School, which are mainly guided by professors from Fudan University, Jiaotong University, Tongji University and other universities and research institutes, and take about one and a half years to complete the content of the syllabus.

The mathematics class is the absolute trump card of the middle school, which emphasizes the tutoring of small classes in chemistry competitions, led by the principal Feng Zhigang and the special teacher Guo Yijun, both of whom are known as devil coaches, and are the first signboard in the Shanghai mathematics competition; From 2008 to 2016, Shanghai middle school students were selected for the Chinese national team, the highest honor in the middle school mathematics competition, the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), and won the gold medal. The science and technology class is divided into five special directions: physics, chemistry, computer science, medicine, and life science; The engineering class is divided into five specialized directions, including engineering, communications, media, energy, and environment, and the difficulty is equal to or slightly higher than that of the pre-university department. The freshmen of the two classes need to choose two of the above disciplines, participate in special courses every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, and receive general education from professors from Shanghai Jiaotong University and other universities; After entering the second year of high school, one of the two disciplines will be selected as the main direction, and experts and professors from universities and scientific research institutes will serve as tutors one-on-one.

Since it does not completely revolve around the college entrance examination, in today's test-oriented education environment, it is somewhat difficult to explore. Many students stop research and focus on exercise training when they reach high school, but everyone in the experimental class must have a long-term project for more than one year, and they must be "weaned" in advance. Compared with parallel classes, the teaching progress of experimental classes is faster and more difficult, and the class rate of special teachers and subject leaders is higher, and it is more conducive to focusing on the direction of life. 

The former improves the syllabus of each discipline and supplements a large number of school-based contents, such as "macroeconomics", "comparative political system", "history of Chinese and Western philosophy" in the breadth of political science, and in-depth expansion of physics in "digital physics experiments". The latter has more than 700 courses to choose from, with 200-250 courses offered each semester, which are divided into four types: knowledge expansion, broad vision, analytical inquiry, and applied practice, for students to choose freely. If you love computers, you choose computer and mathematics courses such as FLASH, programming, and magic squares; If you like engineering, it's perfect for courses like robotics making, smart buildings, and even fun courses like pastry making, cooking, American drama and divination.

With the support of the implementation of the curriculum map, Shangzhong has also established a number of experimental groups such as automobile, finance, human medicine, law, micro-film, hosting and speech, software engineering, etc., all of which have cooperated with Tongji, Shangju, East China Political Science and Law, Finance University and other universities. The moral education map focuses on personality building, "cognition, practice, experience, reflection" is its key words, the most famous is the 48-hour adaptive survival training for high school freshmen, before departure, the school teacher will affirm: this is not a tour, each person can only bring two bottles of water, no snacks are allowed, and no change can be brought; The 19 accompanying teachers can only be bystanders, and cannot give any guidance or help to the students. Students must prepare three meals and two breakfasts within 48 hours, and cannot cook noodles, and each meal must have two dishes and one soup. Different from ordinary military training, it is closer to a wilderness survival practice, in addition to military orientation and combat training, survival training pays more attention to the exercise of students' self-care ability, hard-working spirit and interpersonal skills, as the first lesson of moral education is very impressive.

No middle school student is a test-taking machine that reads to death. Even from the beginning of high school, there is a 45-minute 16-question "Zhou Zhoushuang" math test every week, and 70% of people will always fail; Each grade has its own pressure, and weekly, monthly, and big exams come in turn, but the atmosphere is always compact and free. CPS is an acronym for creativity, practice, and service, and it requires students to organize one or several creative practical activities to serve others or society every year, including caring for AIDS villages, visiting orphans in Wenchuan, and going deep into the special group of street performers. More than 30 clubs are very unique, you can in the Model United Nations community, you can debate and think about Libyan security issues, community forest issues, Soviet-American relations, nuclear disarmament issues and other issues, the group will send representatives to Harvard, Peking University, Fudan and other places every year to participate in the Model United Nations conference; You can also work as a director, screenwriter or actor in the ON AIR Drama Club; There are even groups for the protection of Chinese sturgeons and groups for out-of-school children in Tibetan areas where you can shine. At the same time, the most daring and novel science and technology festival, the most popular and tense art festival, and the most united and high-spirited sports festival are all shining moments for Shangzhong people. What's even more interesting is that every year after the end of the art festival, there is a carnival night, which is stuck around Christmas, before the final exams, the headquarters and the international department hold a creative market, masquerade party and band performances, which is a night that even college bullies will give up brushing questions.

Shangzhong occupies a vast area, from the teaching building to the canteen to walk more than 5 minutes, plus the food is good, especially the porridge and buns for breakfast are the most popular, and the menu will change every month, there are more than ten kinds of dishes to choose from for breakfast, lunch and dinner, braised pork and fried pork ribs are often snatched up, so there will be a grand occasion of "running to rice" every day at noon and evening. There are many people on the first floor of the canteen, and the second floor has a good environment. The dormitory conditions of the upper middle school are better than those of many universities, except for the first year of high school, the female dormitory is a room for six people, and the rest are a room for four people, all of which are equipped with independent air conditioning; Every two bedrooms share a bathroom, equipped with four pools, two toilets and two showers, so there is basically no toilet rush in the morning. Hot water is available from 4 p.m. to 10:10 p.m.; The toilet does not turn off the lights at night, and the lights go out on time at 9:50 p.m. in the dormitory, which has no impact on middle school students, because staying up late and studying hard is strictly prohibited, and all homework must be completed before 9 p.m., even if it is the third year of high school, and there are seven exams a week in the second semester of the third year of high school, and there is no after-school homework if there are exams, so most of the time, middle school students can maintain enough sleep. The middle school is strong enough, so strong that every student can become "someone else's child" in the mouth of his mother.

In addition to the strong performance output due to the on-campus training, in fact, it also has a lot to do with the import of students, the score line of zero volunteer and parallel volunteer is about 600 points, and it is the highest score among the four schools, which means that if you want to enter the school with naked test scores, you can only get a few multiple-choice questions wrong in each paper; In previous years, the selection began during the summer vacation of the second year of junior high school, and after the first model of the third year of junior high school, the school's official website will open for registration on the activity day. From 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the activity day, four exams will be arranged: Chinese, Mathematics, English, and Physics and Chemistry, and the most difficult is mathematics. More than 70 percent of the students who entered the middle school through several channels came from his own son "Zhang Baohua", that is, the three private junior high schools of Zhangjiang Group School, Shangbao Middle School and Huayu Middle School, of which Huayu students accounted for half of the places. At the end of February, a part of the competition students from various schools will be enrolled, generally the first and second prize students of the Datong Cup, about 40 people; The science and technology class and the engineering class do not promise anyone, and all of them are admitted according to the naked score ranking of the exam on the day of the activity, and the number of students is about 90.
