All three types of science high schools in the Philippines (STEM high schools, high schools in the [[Regional Science High School Union]] and the [[Philippine Science High School System]]) offer a curriculum placing importance in mathematics and the sciences, as well as research. It is noted though that the RSHS Union and the PSHS System have much higher standards of science and mathematics education than STEM high schools. Likewise, STEM high schools and the RSHS Union are operated by Department of Education, while the PSHS system is operated by [[Department of Science and Technology (Philippines)|Department of Science and Technology]].

In STEM high schools, transfer students are permitted to enroll provided the student is coming from another STEM high school, from an RSHS or from the PSHS System. In the Regional Science High School Union and the PSHS System, transfers are only allowed within their respective systems for incoming sophomores only. Students who wish to transfer from ana STEM high school to the RSHS or PSHS systems will not be admitted, although the reverse is permissible.{{citation needed|date=March 2015}}

All three types of science high school also maintain different grading systems. STEM high schools and the RSHS Union apply the standard grading system for high schools in the Philippines, while the PSHS System maintains a unique grading system using the 1.00-5.00 scale.
