4. Three things the numbers say

Thirty-six primary and 35 secondary schools, a gap of one (-2.8%); four districts sit within one school of a one-to-one split, Eastern and Kwun Tong level and Kwai Tsing and Tai Po one apart.
Aided schools number 49 (32.0%), government 2 and direct-subsidy 2 (Law Ting Pong and Tai Po Sam Yuk). Christian schools reach 59, or 38.6%, the clearest religious pattern in the district.
The 100 private schools are 65.4%, but 50 are kindergartens, leaving 71 primary and secondary schools; the private group includes Norwegian, Japanese, Malvern College, American School and Spanish School, clustered around Tai Po Market and Pak Shek Kok.

Religion and gender: None 82, Christian 59, Taoist 5, Catholic 5. Boys-only schools 0, girls-only 0, co-educational 153. Single-gender schools are few, yet this is the first column most families ask about.

5. Getting around the district

Main MTR stations: Tai Po Market and Tai Wo on the East Rail line, with buses and minibuses around Tai Po Central and Pak Shek Kok. Door-to-door travel between a school and a lesson usually stays under half an hour; when a timetable leaves only one free hour, an online lesson beats crossing stations.

Fix the school station first, then the tutor station, and only then look at travel time: inside one district the difference between stations can reach twenty minutes.
