The school
Only students with straight A's or close to straight A's from the UPSR examination would be selected into this school. Thus, the quality of the students and hence the standard of the school are among the highest in Malaysia.[citation needed]
Chung Ling High School is one of the handful of schools that conform to the government's policy of 60-40.[citation needed] The 60-40 Policy encourages students to take up Science Streams as compared to Art Streams to the ratio of 60:40.[2] In fact, Chung Ling High School has far surpassed this number and has over 90% of students studying in the Science Stream.[3]
The school enrolls approximately 3.000 students as of 2010. The students are served by over 190 academic and non-academic staff.
Dragon boat accident
On 17 January 2010, the school's dragon boat team capsized, having collided with a tugboat amid strong currents. The tragedy claimed six lives in total. Among the dead were school teacher Chin Aik Siang and students Jason Ch'ng, Brendon Yeoh, Goh Yi Zhang, Wang Yong Xiang and Chiah Zi Jun.

Further development
Chung Ling College (锺灵学院)
On 26 October 2007, the Board of Governors of the Tri-Chung Ling High Schools announced that they had passed a motion to form a tertiary institution as a complement to the Tri-Chung Ling High Schools. The Chairman of the Board, Dato' Oo Jooi Tee, noted that while the board had already approved the establishment, the plan would be on hold until sponsorship could be found. However, he noted that this should not be difficult as there is great support for the establishment.
Chung Ling College will first be established on the grounds of Chung Ling High School, Penang in Air Itam. However, it may later be moved to larger, more suitable grounds.[7]
This plan is currently cancelled.
