Southwest Weiyu Middle School and Southwest Model Middle School are known as "Daxi" and "Xiaoxi" in the community, "Daxi" is for Southwest Weiyu, "Xiaoxi" is the Southwest Model, and the junior high schools of both schools are the leaders of private junior high schools in Xuhui District and even Shanghai. The middle school of the southwest high school takes advantage of the east wind of its own students to sit firmly in the top spot of the private high school, while the "Xiaoxi" southwest model who is only a private high school is not so lucky, and the quality of the students is mediocre; However, the Southwest Model can rely on high-intensity test-taking training every year to pull the college entrance examination score to a level close to the key level of the district, which is very rare, and can be described as a model of low entry and high exit. If the candidate's grades are below average, but they want to struggle for three years and go to the bottom of the undergraduate college, then the southwest model is not too bad an option - at least it is more reliable than many public high schools.

In recent years, the admission score of Southwest Model has only been about 530 points, and the lowest score in Xuhui District in 2018 is 531 points. In Xuhui District, a strong education area, such student conditions are not comparable to the key middle schools in the district, even compared with public ordinary high schools, and the high school of the southwest model has become the object of ridicule by junior high school teachers all year round. However, the results of Southwest Model High School in recent years have shown its good processing ability, the undergraduate rate of the new and old college entrance examinations has reached about 80%, and the undergraduate rate of the college entrance examination in 2017 is as high as 93%, which is even better than the key high schools in the fourth and fifty-fourth districts of Xuhui District. However, the foundation of the southwest model high school is weak, and it is difficult to break through the upper limit of one book, and the school has a rate of about 15% per year, which is relatively speaking.

The low income and high exit of the Southwest Model are favored by many high school entrance examination students and their parents, and they are often regarded as the guaranteed choice of voluntary high schools. Therefore, there are many new students who fail the high school entrance examination accepted by the Southwest Model every year, and the students themselves have a high learning enthusiasm and sense of crisis, which is in line with the resolute and high-pressure educational philosophy of the Southwest Model, and often acts as a "catfish in the sardine school" in the class. Southwest Model High School enrolls about 150 people every year, with 4 teaching classes, students are divided into classes according to the results of the high school entrance examination after admission, the classes are parallel, and there is no class test, so the class style is similar, and the overall learning atmosphere is stronger, and there are not a few students who tutor outside the school.

The teaching strategy of Southwest Model High School is simple and straightforward: use intensive test-taking training to bridge the gap in students' hard skills. In the teaching philosophy of Southwest Model, the best way to improve grades is to brush up on a large number of questions, so the amount of homework is huge, and it is almost impossible for high school students to complete their homework before 0:00 in the morning, regardless of grade; Teachers are rigorous and responsible, fast-paced, tight in tasks, constantly tested, and staying in school for tutoring after school is commonplace. For Southwest Model High School, after-school life does not exist, and all kinds of student club activities are destined to be only for junior high school, and high school students have no chance. Southwest models usually despise quality development, and the high school has almost no off-standard courses for students to breathe, and after entering the third year of high school, "unnecessary" courses such as art classes will also be canceled, urging students to devote themselves to the selection of higher education.

Before the public restructuring in the 90s, Southwest Model High School used to be a conglomeration school of Nanyang Model High School, and it has a deep relationship with Nanyang Model High School. In 2015, Southwest Model High School joined Nanyang Model Education Group, and the educational resources of Nanyang Model High School benefited Southwest Model, which is undoubtedly a great benefit to Southwest Model students. The top 12 freshmen in the current class of Southwest Model High School can directly go to Nanyang Model High School to study for three years; The teachers of the Southern Model High School will also go to the Southwest Model High School from time to time to attend classes and share the resources of the famous school; The examination papers of the Southwest Model High School are also usually borrowed directly from Nanyang Model High School. The Nanyang model has always been known for its rigorous style of study, with a lot of homework and a tight grasp of the subject training, which is consistent with the concept of the Southwest Model, and the resource sharing between the two schools is obviously more targeted.

In addition, it is worth noting that the admission rate of Southwest Model High School will also have a few "water injection" operations allowed in the rules, such as poor students repeating grades, persuading students to quit, or persuading students to volunteer to fill in foreign undergraduate colleges with a low risk of failure, etc., which can reduce the pressure of the school's admission and improve the final undergraduate online score.

Southwest Model High School is deeply hidden in the community of Huicheng New Village, and is divided into two parts: the main campus and the east campus, and the campus is cramped, especially the east campus where the high school is located. To enter the school headquarters from Baise Road, you need to cross a long community center street, from Longchuan North Road, you can also take the community road to enter the high school, and from the high school to the school headquarters, you must pass through the Huicheng Ercun community. There is only one teaching building and two basketball courts in the high school; The library, gymnasium, cafeteria, track and field track are all located in the school headquarters. There are only very limited accommodation conditions in the Southwest Model School, only students from other districts are accepted to apply for accommodation, and the middle and high schools live together in the school headquarters. In addition, the morning classes in the winter and summer of the high school are 7:15 and 7:10 respectively, which is obviously early, and students need to adjust their schedules properly.

In short, the southwest model is re-examined, with a low entrance and a high score. Xuhui District is a large education area, with high school resources evenly distributed, schools at all levels are distributed in stages, and although the Southwest Model High School is not a head school, it plays the role of a supporting platform in the middle, and is committed to creating new possibilities for high school candidates who are embarrassed by test scores. For high school candidates who are not interested in vocational high school, if the tuition fee is not considered, the Southwest Model will be a more reliable guaranteed school.
