A public high school in Hsinchu County posted strong college placement results this year, good news for families weighing whether a local school can compete with big-city ones.

• 199 acceptances to Taiwanese colleges, including 108 spots at national universities.
• The academic track hit a 71% acceptance rate through the star recommendation route, with students landing at NTU, Cheng Kung, Chengchi, and Taiwan Normal.
• The vocational track set a school record: three students got into Taiwan Tech at once, and more than 60 went to national technical universities.
• Vocational acceptance overall ran at 80%, with many students holding offers from two or three schools.
• The school credits individual counseling, elective variety, and tailored college strategies rather than one single path to success.

Outlook: The school plans to expand its tie-ups with colleges and industry to keep both tracks growing.
