The High School Affiliated to Renmin University Of China (Chinese: 中国人民大学附属中学; Pinyin: zhōngguó rénmín dàxué fùshŭ zhōngxué), colloquially Rendafuzhong abbreviated to RDFZ (Chinese: 人大附中), is the affiliated high school of Renmin University of China, and is often regarded as the most prestigious high school in the People's Republic of China. It is the sister school of Phillips Academy in Massachusetts and Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. RDFZ is situated in Haidian District of Beijing, and also in the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Zone. It is among one of the beacon high schools accredited by Beijing Municipal Government.

[edit] Achievement
Since its establishment in 1950, RDFZ has made tremendous achievements in various fields of secondary education. It has been conferred such titles from China's Ministry of Education and Beijing Municipality Education Commission on numerous occasions as:
- Advanced School of All-round Education with Distinctive Characteristics,
- School of Full-range Development and Talented Students' Academic Training,
- Advanced School of Working Skill Education,
- Municipal Model School for Education in Science and Technology,
- National Model School for Modern Technology Education,
- Excellent School for Training Elite Back-up Athletes,
- Advanced School for Merits in Physical and Health Work,
- Model School for Demonstrating Green Network,
- State-level Traditional School for Physical Education.
[edit] Staff Team
RDFZ is known for having a distinguished faculty which possesses a strong commitment to both teaching and research. It is a highly motivated, innovative and professional team. Among them are 23 special-class teachers, over 170 senior-level teachers, l4 conferred the titles of pillar teachers at the national level, and another 17 at the Beijing municipal level, and 37 recognized as advanced individuals in their disciplines in Haidian District. There are more than 40 foreign teachers from the United States, Great Britain and other countries.
However, it remains highly controversial that the school should occupy the student's leisure time, including the weekends and some public holidays, by forcing them to attend classes. For example, some students from this high school complain that their course-load and homework is almost twice the amount of the students from other key schools, such as the Affiliated High School of Peking University, which is just less than 1km away.
[edit] Result in National College Entrance Examination
In the past two decades, RDFZ has always come out of top among other schools in Beijing in the aspect of entrance rate into institutions of higher learning, serving as one of the major sources of recruitment for China's famous universities like Tsinghua University, Beijing University, and Renmin University.
