I believe that elite schools are different from neighborhood schools in a way that they have more freedom to their decision in running the school as most of them are autonomous schools or independent schools. For example, the Integrated Programme which main aim was to allow allows top performing secondary students to proceed to Junior College without taking the 'O' were mostly introduced in those school that were autonomous and independent ones and not to the neighbourhood schools. This can be also used to deem that student from elite school are more “better” than those student coming from the neighborhood schools.
