A representative of Le Thanh Tong primary, junior high, and high school reported on 23/8 that the four classes had a total of 159 students. The remaining two science classes also had a high success rate, with over 90% of students admitted to medical schools.
Most students opted for programs in medicine, odontology, and pharmacy at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Ho Chi Minh City, Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine, University of Science (Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City), and Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy.

This is the first year that 100% of students from class 12B4 have been accepted into their chosen medical schools. Homeroom teacher Phan Van Chien noted that in previous years, while students in this class also achieved high scores, many chose to study abroad or pursue technology and science fields.
Nguyen Viet Long, the homeroom teacher for class 12B1, has seen his sixth consecutive year of students achieving a 100% medical school acceptance rate. He reported that the average high school graduation exam score for the science combination of math, chemistry, and biology was 27.46/30, with the highest score reaching 29.25.
Long attributes the 100% success rate of the four science classes to the careful selection of students with a strong foundation and their consistent exposure to challenging school exams. While following the national curriculum set by the Ministry of Education and Training, the school implements teaching methods with a higher intensity and stricter discipline.
In addition to two daily classes, students have evening classes from 6 pm to 10 pm, except on Saturdays and Sundays. Mobile phone use is restricted within the school; students must use school phones or borrow one from their homeroom teacher if necessary. "The teachers closely monitor and motivate the students, employing strategies tailored to each student's abilities. The competitive environment, filled with high-achieving peers, further pushes students to strive for excellence," Long stated.
