Have you considered the traditional mission schools (the one where the church still has a degree of voice in it as compared to those who have turned into SMKs and the church has stopped being the patron or administrator the school)? I am a product of such a school and I can say that if I had a choice to choose where to study, I'd go there again. And if I have a child, such schools will be my first choice to consider before I explore other options.

There's just a different atmosphere in such schools - traditions of excellence, discipline and holism (as in holistic (whole), not holy). There was another observation I made also, was that the command of English for all students were good regardless of whether they were in the top class or the bottom-most class. Everyone could at least speak decent English. So that takes some worry about English away.

Do bear in mind that these sort of traditional mission schools are getting rare though. A lot of mission schools now are mission school in name and not in tradition/administration. So scout around well. I'm not sure about those in Klang Valley but I guess you can start with taking note of the famous ones and asking around about their current state of affairs and quality.

Edit: for clarity.
