Mountainous county school in Guizhou stuns with gaokao results

A high school in Liupanshui, a mountainous region of Guizhou province, has defied expectations with its outstanding performance in the highly competitive national college entrance exam, the gaokao. Nearly all students in a single class at Liupanshui No 2 High School scored above 600 points, with the highest score reaching an impressive 694 points – the top score for science students in the entire city.

The total score for the gaokao in Guizhou is 750.

This remarkable achievement is even more significant considering the students’ backgrounds. Most hail from mountainous regions and often have parents working in cities. Despite these challenges, their dedication and hard work have paid off.

The student with the highest score played a significant role in motivating her classmates. Hua Can, the class monitor, describes the student’s dedication as a spark that ignited a fire within the entire class. “She studied hard herself, and under her influence, every one of us is working tirelessly,” Hua Can said.

This drive led to a shift in the classroom culture, with students arriving early for self-study and collectively raising the bar for academic performance.  CHINADAILY
