Two years ago Taipei City began to move toward district high schools. Now only a few elite schools, such as Chienkuo, Taipei First Girls, Chengkung, Chungshan and National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) Affiliated High School, don't allow a greater number of local residents to take recommendation track exams. First Girls and Chienkuo have both stated that on principle they will not participate in the high school district plan.
台北市的高中自二年前就開始朝社區化發展，目前只有建中、北一女、成功、中山、附中等高中沒有提供鄰近行政區的國中加倍推薦人數參加甄試，針對教育部所宣告的推動高中社區化，北一女、建國中學都表示，原則上不會加入。
