School Discretionary/Central Allocation Quota Ratios

The Hong Kong Primary One Admission System divides places into Discretionary and Central Allocation phases. Typically, about 30% of places are for Discretionary, and 70% for Central Allocation. Knowing each school's allocation ratio helps parents assess chances and plan strategies. (Note: Actual figures are subject to EDB and school announcements; always verify with official sources.)
