In my opinion, elite schools are different from neighbouring schools.

In terms of student:

Elite schools:
- Students are excellent in acadamic to be accpeted into the school.
- Students have self motivation.
- Students are intelligent.

Neighbouring schools:
- Students are average in acadamic.
- Students need motivation from others.
- Students are not as intelligent as students from elite schools.

In terms of school:

Elite schools:
- Most elite schools are autonomous.
- Schools have more freedom to decide how they want to run the school.
- Schools have more funds to have better facilities or more special programmes to help the students to excel.

Neighbouring schools:
- Most neighbouring schools are government aided.
- Schools have to follow the government's path to run the school.
- Schools have limited funds to encourage special programmes for students.

In parents' point of view:

Elite schools:
- Students are mostly well behaved.
- Good influence eg. conducive study environment.
- Their children will have a better future as the school is well-known.

Neighbouring schools:
- Some students have bad attitude towards studying.
- Bad influence eg. bad study environment.
