"Can schools simultaneously achieve high academic standard and foster equal educational opportunity?" This article attempts to address this issue by investigating the performance of 15-year-old secondary school students in Hong Kong. First, it will review the quality of secondary school system by assessing the overall performance on reading, mathematics, and science. Then it will assess the equality of educational outcomes by examining the achievement gap between students from different social backgrounds. The results suggest that Hong Kong's education system has achieved both excellence and equality of opportunity when compared with other countries. However, there are also serious academic and social segregation among schools.
