//What's the purpose of CNA highlighting ACS in particular for this IB performance? What about the other 19 schools? Besides, ACS isn't Singapore's top school. If Raffles or Hua Chong were to be on the IB scheme, they would beat ACS flat.
This news report is like a cheap flick - Duke, is Ivy, but will never, ever rank ahead of Harvard, so it doesn't even bother to try or it will look like this report - pathetic.
