How's Yew Chung International School? I have heard that there are many local kids in this school. But 15% of alumni from this school went to some great universities such as Cambridge, Brown etc.
But only a handful of people talked about this school. How is Yew Chung International School?

I met a couple of Aussie girls who had gone there for a year while they were wait listed at schools closer to home (HK island) - mum only pulled them out when places came up because the commute had been hard, but their Mandarin was amazing! I think they went straight in with the local kids in the ESF Mandarin.

Depends what you are looking for. YEw CHung has a history of 75 years in education. This means they have a very well established Chinese program. My daughter is a 5 year Yew CHung veteran and is extrememly well 'schooled' in Chinese. I believe the co-teaching classroom is a real benefit. It means children in the classroom have both a western and Chinese perspective. Location is good.
Cons: lack of space for kids to RUN (I believe this may be a HK thing). Quite strict in many things that a western parent like myself is not really used to...uniform, homework, rules etc but this may differ from campus to campus. THere is also a LOT of homework. Parents are majority HK and their influence in the school is evident - it is very competitve academically. THe secondary is HUGE and I look forward to my daughter leaving the tiny primary camous for the big space down the road.
Kindergarten is a different story altogether - what age is /are your child/ren?

THe make up would be 60% HK, 30% CHina mainland and 10% other - my guess.
