EspañolSELECTIVE SCHOOL
A 'selective school' is a school which admits students on the basis of some sort of selection criteria, usually academic. The term may have different connotations in different systems.
In New South Wales, Australia, selective high schools is the name given to the government schools which select their students on the basis of their academic ability. Most students enter a selective high school in Year 7, after sitting the Selective High Schools Test in the previous year.
In Victoria, Australia, Selective high schools are those which select their students based on an entrance examination and/or audition. There are three selective entry schools, Melbourne High School for boys and MacRobertson Girls High School for girls (both run from Years 9-12), and the VCA Secondary School for musicians and dancers of either gender (run from Years 7-12).
Grammar schools are common in many counties of England and Wales, and select pupils either on the basis of an Eleven Plus examination, by an internally set a moderated examination, or by both.
However, most schools in the UK are now comprehensive schools, which are non-selective.
In Northern Ireland a similar system of grammar schools is in the process of being dismantled by the Northern Ireland Education Order which is going through Westminster.
Selective schools in the United States are typically for the high school level, and are often also specialized schools. In New York, students are required to take the competitive Specialized High Schools Admissions Test prior to possible admittance to one of the schools.
