The eighth school has the best grades in Shanghai except for the fourth school, which may be the most common misunderstanding among many people, especially parents and students who are not born and raised in Shanghai. They take it for granted that since they are known as the "Four Schools and Eight Universities", they must be the eight high schools that follow the four schools. This is actually not entirely wrong, more than ten years ago, there was only one municipal key high school in each district, and these eight old brands of good schools were the first in the district. When the people began to circulate the saying of the Eighth National Congress, it was indeed arranged according to the quality of education and the promotion rate, but the conditions for information sharing at that time were not enough. All the numbers passed on by parents and students are actually inaccurate. It is true that the eight schools are not bad schools, but looking at the college entrance examination in recent years, the top schools in the suburbs such as Heima City West, Shibei, Cao Er, and Songer can compete with Yan'an and Fuxing; Pudong's Jincai and Xuhui's education are the second millennium children in the district, and their college entrance examination results are not inferior. On the other hand, many of these old and famous schools have fallen out of the top 20 in the college entrance examination. It is long outdated to demarcate the rivers and lakes with the eight schools, and the eight schools are neither an alliance nor enjoy policy inclination.
In 2017, the number of admissions in the comprehensive evaluation of Qingbei's resumption of the college once exceeded that of Fufu and Hua Er, and it was close to the middle school, and the "five schools" were surging. In fact, due to the large student base of Qibao, in terms of admission ratio, it still does not exceed the four schools. However, considering the obvious weakness of the four schools in terms of student source and policy, it is rare that Qibao Middle School can still maintain such a surprising excellent rate despite the huge student base. Whether it can replace Jiaofu is not mentioned, but Qibao has become a powerful force that has risen the fastest in Shanghai high schools in the past 10 years, a typical low-in, high-out, and officially threatens the pattern of the four schools.
Willing to spend money on the introduction of high-quality teachers is one of the keys to Qibao's turnaround. At that time, Principal Qiu Zhonghai invited outstanding teachers from other places to come to Shanghai, and in order to solve his worries, he gave "husband and wife" the treatment of entering the school. In order to make up for the weakness of science, Qibao hired Chen Changen, Wen Weixing, Zhu Yue and other famous teachers from Hubei, Jiangsu and other places, and there are currently 14 special teachers, 8 national backbone teachers, and 8 municipal backbone teachers in the whole teaching team in the school.
The second key to making Qibao stand out from the traditional eight schools is inseparable from its sea of questions tactics. Qibao is known as "Shanghai's Hengshui Middle School", with no less than ten hours of course study every day, endless homework and unfinished exams, which is the most evaluation of Qibao students to their alma mater. The first year of high school has been running with the vigor of the third year of high school, and it is normal to continue to write homework with the lamp after the lights are turned off, and to get up at four or five o'clock in the morning to memorize words and Chinese texts; Generally, when encountering various sub-subjects, lectures or activities, most students will bring a paper to do. Qibao is also not soft in terms of make-up classes, the top 100 in the grade are the seed players of Qingbei re-exchange, and the school will set up a separate "elite class" for make-up classes, the content is mostly expanded and supplemented, and the last 100 make-up classes are called "holding children", and the content is mostly based on solid content. There are exams every week, in addition to the monthly exams, there are also physical and chemical exams when holding children, and Zhou Zhoushuang who imitates the upper middle school; The task of 10 parallel classes is heavy enough, and the courses of 4 experimental classes are deeper and more difficult, and the teacher acquiesces that everyone has already learned high school courses in the summer, so many basic knowledge is no longer expanded, and goes straight to the difficulty; In addition, the school takes grades as the first priority, and some teachers will treat students differently, and even insult and scold a lot; The student's nerves are on tension at all times. But under such a fierce whip for the exam, Qibao did show dazzling results, and the students were more confident when they went to the battlefield, but these all need to sacrifice electives, physical exercises and even rest time, and there is no discussion of right or wrong here, only the wishes of parents and children.
Under the heavy coursework, Qibao still requires every student to participate in research study, and complete at least one research topic, and receive the general education of "Dawen Course Series" or "Dali Course Series" in the first year of high school, take one of the theme module courses, put forward their own topic after one year, and participate in the defense with the proposal report. After the project is established, the school will match resources for each research group, and most students use the summer vacation time to focus on tackling key problems, starting to design schemes, checking literature, social surveys, interviews, doing experiments, writing papers, completing 70%-80% of the research tasks, submitting the first draft in early October, conducting mid-term evaluation and defense, and ending the topic at the end of the first semester of the second year of high school to participate in the summary defense. Some students found that in the densely populated areas of the city centre, such as Lujiazui and Xujiahui, it was difficult for the public to travel after the end of the night bus operation, resulting in the rampant black cars. Therefore, they used ArcGis software to conduct a spatio-temporal investigation, and found that the time and space of citizens' nighttime travel did not match the layout of the nighttime bus network, so they proposed that with the continuous enrichment of urban nightlife, citizens' demand for nighttime travel has undergone new changes, and nighttime bus services should be improved. On the basis of analyzing the collected spatio-temporal characteristics of citizens' night travel, they drew a spatio-temporal matrix of citizens' night travel, and selected 14 large residential communities as samples for spatio-temporal analysis, and then combined with the coverage of the night bus route network, put forward suggestions for improving night bus services, such as extending the night service hours of some bus lines, doing a good job in connecting buses and subways, and writing letters to relevant departments to suggest readjusting the night supper line. The project, titled "Research on the Optimization of Shanghai's Night Bus Network Based on Citizens' Travel Characteristics", won the first prize in the 2018 Shanghai Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition. Since 2002, teachers and students of Qibao Middle School have applied for a total of 467 invention patents. It has won a total of 1,079 awards in science and technology competitions at the national and Shanghai municipal levels; A total of 93 people from the national "Tomorrow's Little Scientists" and "Shanghai Tomorrow's Science and Technology Stars"; Since 2014, the total number of first prizes in the Shanghai Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition has achieved "five consecutive championships", and it enjoys a high initiative in the comprehensive evaluation interview of top universities.
Qibao Middle School has a total of eight festivals, and the carnival is the most popular event, with food courts, class garden parties, talent shows, light shows, cos, etc., and even the principal will wear strange costumes to interact with students, and the bonfire party and rabbit dance at night are lively and jubilant. However, this festival is generally only attended by the first and second years of high school, and the third year of high school students are usually detained by the class teacher to brush up on questions or quizzes. Other festivals are mostly in the form of walking, but Qibao requires students to learn to swim in the first semester of high school, and tennis classes in the second semester of high school; Except for the suspension after the winter solstice, dormitory students have to do morning jogging or gymnastics every morning at other times, and they are forced to clock in, and if they do not perform well, they will be notified to the class teacher, and the senior high school students will not participate. It is worth noting that Qibao Middle School strictly prohibits students from falling in love with each other, compared to the attitude of the four schools "not breaking up after talking, not talking about not encouraging", Qibao is much stricter, the grade leader will often go to each class to check during the night self-study, after class, if the boys and girls are so intimate that they walk together, they will be pulled to the office the next day to explain the situation and even write an inspection.
Qibao Middle School is also known as the "Full-Eating Middle School" because the food in the canteen is excellent. It is recognized that the best taste is the small fried on the third floor, the amount is enough and the taste is enough, the large plate of chicken, the whole camphor tea duck has the most portions, the thousand pages of tofu, sweet and sour loin, sauerkraut fish, three fresh pots, dry pot fat sausages are very popular, and a large number of seniors can also be seen returning to school during the carnival, gathering on the third floor and waiting for a small fried food. All the menus will be written on a blackboard on the third floor, and the more popular or difficult dishes, such as black bean chicken, medicinal duck, claypot rice, etc., need to be booked in advance. The way of ordering food is also very special, write the name of the dish on paper and then pay for it. The aunt will put the dishes on the table and call the number, and she will not check the list when the dishes are taken away, all by consciousness. Qibao can go to the Wenlai canteen next door to eat if you are tired of eating, the same dishes are rich and fragrant, and Qibao's Xinjiang class also has a special halal canteen in Wenlai.
The accommodation conditions of Qibao are good, there are a total of 4 dormitory buildings, 2 men and 2 women. Each building has 5 floors, each floor is about 20 rooms, each room is 4 beds, air conditioning and desks, but there is no satisfaction at all, because many stay-at-home mothers will consider renting in advance in the Baoyi community near No. 7 Middle School, so students who basically apply for accommodation will be approved. The dormitory has a private bathroom, but there is only one bathhouse, and there are 8 taps on each floor. Students who are easily influenced by others are not recommended to live on campus, firstly, some male students will be noisy, and secondly, there are often people in the dormitory who stay up late to read books and brush up on questions, which may affect the normal work and rest of other students.
Although there are quota allocation and self-recruitment restrictions, Qibao has maintained a good source of student imports compared to other ordinary city priorities, the reason is that the high school entrance examination is still mainly selected in the district, Jianping's Pudong New Area has Hua Er, Nanmo and Shangzhong both belong to Xuhui District, Kongjiang and Jiaofu and Fufu are in Yangpu District, and Minhang, where Qibao is located, has not been able to seize the four famous schools of excellent students. However, in 2018's self-recruitment, Qibao was placed by the four schools. In order to double insurance, many students will participate, and Qibao will notify students with more than 170 points the next day, and then sign a contract, so every year Qibao can also "pick up" a group of outstanding students from Shangbao and Huayu. In 2018, the self-recruitment of the four schools was held on Sunday, and the next day was Monday, so Shippo was also weakened by some students, and it has always been inferior to the affiliated schools in terms of policy. What's more serious is that the new policy of the high school entrance examination requires the city to focus on reducing the number of self-recruited places in addition to the four schools, from 40% to 15% in one go, and the source of private junior high school students in the district will be greatly weakened. More important than self-recruitment is that the quota allocation ratio of up to 35%-45.5% will greatly balance the differences between districts, which means that the student source of Qibao will be even more uneven.
If you want to participate in the self-recruitment of Qibao Middle School, you must mainly perform well in the first-model exam, get the ticket for the open day in March, and you are not allowed to take the exam on site; On the second day of the open day, you can check the results, and if you score more than 170 points, you can basically receive a pre-recorded call from Qibao, and some students will get offers from Qibao and the four schools at the same time, and if you give up Qibao, there will be more places left for students with less than 170 points; If you are not signed in March and April, there will be another chance to recruit yourself in May, but there are fewer places. The content of the self-recruitment is three subjects other than the number of languages, 60 points for each subject, 40 points for physics, 30 points for chemistry, a total of 250 points, 5 courses and 11 papers take a total of 3 hours, there is no break on the way, and the exam time is very tight; The exam is difficult, and students who have no experience in mathematics, physics and chemistry competitions will feel tired.
