SCIENCE
Admission to RSHS
Students who belong to the upper 10% of the Grade VI graduating class and who have been recommended by their respective principals are qualified to take the entrance examination.
Selection is done in three stages and is conducted by the school. The first stage is the administration of standardized mental ability and aptitude test. The student applicant must belong to the 40 percent of the first stage of examination in order to advance to the second stage.
The second stage is the proficiency test in Science, English, and Mathematics. The stage qualifier should obtain at least 75 percent proficiency level in order to advance to the last stage of the selection process.
The last stage is the interview of the student and parents conducted by the RSHS screening committee. The interview is scored.
​
Retention
A student should obtain a final average grade of at least 85% in all subjects, in any grading period. If a student fails to meet the latter grade requirement the student will be in probation for a period of one year.
​
Transfer
Only students who have maintained the grade requirement set for RSHS are be allowed to transfer laterally, that is, from one RSHS to another. Transfer from general high school to the RSHS is not allowed in any curriculum year.
