Statutory half minus actual
Number = actual CA places minus statutory half. Positive = DP not filled, remainder to CA; negative = DP used more than half.
2019–2026 每年自行階段都收足並超出法定配額，統一派位嘅學額因而少咗，缺口通常 15 個左右。 The shortfall is due to legacy (unrestricted places) exceeding the 30% cap, or retained repeaters, which are indistinguishable. But Points System places are unaffected – Category B has a 20% floor.

大埔舊墟公立學校為大埔區一線小學，以谷成績見稱，升中B1率約5X%，功課多、活動多，適合能配合學校節奏、願意投入時間的家長。插班及叩門競爭激烈，需學業成績優異及體藝特長。校風嚴謹，但寶湖道校區有活動教學元素，提供多元選擇。
校風嚴謹，以谷成績見稱，升中B1率約5X%，靠催谷得來。活動多且任報，學習風氣差異大，需專注或外補。2020年前後均被指谷，但2021年寶湖道校區作風較舊墟嚴格，有活動教學元素。
功課量多，2015-2016年每日約5-8樣，反覆用習作溫習，活動多，鼓勵一體一藝。2021年寶湖道校區功課多，默書測驗頻繁，需家長緊貼跟進。整體學術壓力大。
插班競爭激烈，需面試，錄取通知時間不確定。叩門亦難，需成績級三內及體藝特長。2016年兩舊墟同日插班試需取捨，2021年與一呂比較，升中網較遜。2024年叩門受甲部限制。
2021年寶湖道校區重視活動教學，有室內暖水泳池，與舊墟嚴格作風不同，顯示教學風格多元。
