Hong Kong Primary School Nets (36)
Primary One Admission ("central allocation") in Hong Kong divides the territory into 36 primary school nets by residence. Within a single net, school options, prices and rent levels can vary widely — which is why "picking the net" is often a parent's first step in choosing where to live. All 36 nets are listed below, grouped by Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, with the areas each covers and its estates.

Frequently asked questions
How many primary school nets are there in Hong Kong?
Hong Kong's Primary One Admission "central allocation" divides the territory into 36 primary school nets, covering Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.
How are primary school nets determined?
The Education Bureau divides nets by residential address. When parents apply for central allocation, they are assigned a net based on their home address and then choose schools within that net.
What is the relationship between school nets and property prices?
Nets with prestigious schools or concentrated locations tend to have higher demand, which is reflected in estate prices and rents. Our figures are calculated independently for each net from real transaction records, so they can be compared side by side.
How do I know which school net I belong to?
Check the EDB "Primary One Admission" school net list, or search by target area/estate on this site to see which primary school net it falls under.
