The Qingdao No. 58 High School[1] (山东省青岛五十八中) is a boarding school in Qingdao, China.[2] It is well considered[by whom?] the most selective high school in Qingdao. It has the highest cut-off scores in the senior-high school entrance examinations for acceptance. Over 90% of graduates get into tier one Chinese universities and some get accepted into top universities in the U.S and U.K, an impressive record among the schools in Shandong province. It's ranked as the 44th best high school in China by Ameson Chinese High School Ranking.
The school has 165 full-time teachers, which includes 52 senior teachers, one national outstanding teacher, 16 Shandong provincial special-grade teachers and 92 Qingdao special-grade teachers. Most of them hold a Ph.D. or a master's degree.[3]
It has been awarded the honorary titles of the "Shandong Province Model teaching school" and the "Provincial and Civilized Unit".[citation needed]
In 2015, the school has been accepted as a member of the "National Advanced Education Group", the highest national accolade for a public school.[4]
