The popularity of the top high schools in Amsterdam is based only for a minor part on the results of their students. Other aspects that make certain high schools popular than others are their location (the city center is much preferred), side classes that are offered such as dancing or certain languages, activities that are organized outside school, etc.
- IkmoIkmo 8y agoThat's right, schools aren't really popular for this reason as there's very little grade-selection for university entrances. It's (with some exceptions) open to virtually anyone with the proper passing high school qualifications regardless of the specific grades. Location isn't a big role as far as I know, except for proximity to population which might be more dense in some areas. But the ethnic background / socioeconomic class of the student body and staff is a major factor, as well as a preference for teaching method (montessori, dalton, ipad schools, bilingual education etc).
