Ang Mo Kio Primary Schools

Cleris's take

Anderson isn't the kind of school that ballots every year without fail — it tips in and out, which actually makes your address choice interesting. If you're deciding between two comparable flats in the Yio Chu Kang corridor, the one that puts you inside 1km is worth it as insurance, but you're not locked out if you end up slightly further.

Cleris's take

Four years without a Phase 2C ballot makes Ang Mo Kio Primary one of the most relaxed choices in the town. If you're genuinely open to where in AMK you buy, you don't need to factor school proximity into the decision here — put that energy into finding the flat that works for your budget and your commute.

Cleris's take

If you have a daughter and an SNGS alumni or volunteer connection, Phase 2B is your most reliable entry point — demand is real but not impossible. For everyone else, Phase 2C has balloted every year at SC<1, meaning living within 1km isn't just an advantage here, it's close to a requirement for a realistic shot.

Cleris's take

Jing Shan is a school on a trajectory — Phase 2A has started balloting, which doesn't usually happen at quieter schools, and it tells you alumni demand is building. If this is your target and you don't have a connection, being within 1km gives you a real buffer in Phase 2C; if you're further out, the numbers haven't been brutal enough to shut you out, but that may not hold.

Cleris's take

Four years without a Phase 2C ballot makes Mayflower one of the most relaxed choices in AMK. If you're genuinely open to where in this town you buy, you don't need to worry about proximity here — put that energy into finding the flat that works for your budget and your commute.

Cleris's take

Teck Ghee has run clean through four years without a Phase 2C ballot, even with 70–90 applicants in some years. If you're buying in the AMK Street 31 or 32 corridor, you can take school registration stress off your list entirely and focus on what else matters to your family.

Cleris's take

Townsville is winding down — enrolment has been dropping sharply and the school is set to relocate to Sembawang by 2029. If you're buying in AMK and thinking more than a few years ahead, don't let this school influence your location decision; check MOE's latest updates for where it lands.
