Places in better schools have been found for all but 84 of the children discriminated against under the secondary school allocation system, in an about-turn by the Education Department.
The department said it aimed to find new places for all the children.
So far, 656 out of 740 pupils who were told to settle with their allocated school despite having their appeals upheld have been granted a preferred school in a surprise move by the department.
A further 68 students have agreed to settle at their allocated schools, with 11 undecided. A further five have yet to be contacted.
The appeals were based on a High Court ruling delivered last month that deemed the 23-year-old practice of processing boys and girls separately in the secondary school allocation system discriminatory.
Out of a total of 7,722 complainants, 3,001 were proved to be valid, but only 2,261 were given a better placement because of the limited places available.
