As of 2006, official statistics stated they enrolled 2,800 students, though other reports put their student body at 10,300. Along with students of the Zhengzhou First Middle School and the Zhengzhou Foreign Languages Middle School, students from Henan Experimental are said to have the best language abilities in the province; many students from the school apply to overseas universities, especially in America. Diplomas of their international division, which is jointly operated by the Nova Scotia

176 million.
