About School Net 40

A school net is the geographic unit the Education Bureau uses for Primary One Central Allocation. Government and aided primary schools belong to a net, and a family's home address decides which net it applies through. Direct Subsidy Scheme, private and international primary schools sit outside the net system.

Order: schools with a through-train / nominated / feeder link first, then by profile completeness and name (not an academic ranking).
