No.52 Middle School is the bottom junior high school in Hongkou. Originally, Hongkou public junior high school was relatively poor overall, and the family was still at the bottom.

Hongkou District is particularly rich in educational resources, especially compared with several neighboring districts, there is a famous fairy school in the city. Unfortunately, there are too few good public schools in Hongkou District, and the limelight has been robbed by private junior high schools. Excellent students naturally move closer to private junior high schools. Fortunately, the four private junior high schools, Xinhua Chu, Xin Fuxing, Xunxing and Xinbei Suburb, did not disappoint. They not only kept the forefront in Hongkou, but also made impressive achievements in the whole city.
