Tips
culture
Despite the name, 实验小学 are not experimental in a risky sense - they are state-designated model schools that pilot new curricula and teaching methods. In most cities they're among the most sought-after public primaries, with competitive admission tied to property (学区房). Famous examples: 北京第二实验小学, 上海市实验小学.
usage
The 实验X学 naming pattern runs top-to-bottom: 实验幼儿园 (kindergarten), 实验小学 (primary), 实验中学 (secondary). The 附属 (affiliated) version - e.g. 北师大附属实验小学 - means the school is tied to a university's education department.
