Our list of top schools in Noida
Dear Parents, after an extensive research of schools, we list down some of the best schools in Noida at the moment. As you would find below, the list is arrived to on the combined basis of key parameters like Academics, Individual attention to child, Infrastructure, Parents-Teacher interaction and general safety standards for the child. Equal weightage has been given to all these parameters. Parents looking for a particular characteristic in school can sort this list by the same. Parent reviews, interaction with some of the schools, social insights from online portals and board results are some of the key inputs to this list. More reviews about top schools in Noida can be found at https://go4reviews.in/category/blog/education/noida-schools/

This year, we have re-adjusted our calculation of overall ratings for the school. We have taken 20% of Academics, 20% of Safety/Security and 20% of Individual attention to child as key parameters for overall ratings. These parameters are given highest weightage based on an online Survey we had run few months back. Other than these parameters, 15% of Co-curricular, 10% of Extra-curricular and 5% each of ‘Parents-Teacher Interaction’, ‘Infrastructure’ and ‘Teacher Welfare’ have been considered.
The Survey for best schools in Noida 2018-2019 took the following into consideration:
- Survey forms submitted by 5 Parents and 5 non-Parents for each school/Desk Survey

- SchoolBrainer’s Social Sentiment Analytics
- Online survey conducted during 2019 beginning
‘Survey Form’ and ‘Parents Feedback/Desk Survey’ constituted 30% each while ‘Online Survey/reviews’ and ‘Social Analytics’ constituted 20% each.
The schools were surveyed on following parameters:
- Academics – Defined by board results (if applicable), principal/headmistress/academic coordinator lineage, average experience level of teachers, criteria for employment.
- Individual attention to child – Defined by Student Teacher Ratio, Parent’s Feedback.
- Safety/Security – Defined by Safety measures at Gates, CCTVs, Number of Floors, flooring/pool/play area safety, Bus safety standards, Parent’s Feedback.

I am looking for a holistic school for my kid and liked pacific and infinity school. Wh
ich school is better?
What are the basis of your survey?
I am looking for KG admission of my child. Got confused between Mayoor School, Lotus Valley and Manav Rachna School. Manav Rachna is just 3 km from my residence while Mayoor and LV are 10-11 kms. I will be staying Noida for next 5-6 years because of transferrable pattern of Job. Kindly comment.
Please refer https://go4reviews.in/2018/07/best-schools-noida-2018/ for latest school rankings for Noida
I am staying in Noida Extension (Gaur City 1) & planning for my daughter admission n Nursery in 2019-20 session.
I have sorted DPWS, Lotus valley, Aster & Gaur International.
Please suggest your opinion & priority considering Academics, Safety & Extra curriculum…
Please refer https://go4reviews.in/2016/08/list-of-top-schools-in-noida-extension/ and https://go4reviews.in/2018/03/best-schools-noida-extension-2018/ for latest rankings and reviews of noida extension schools.
DPWS without much doubt. Faculty is very good and it is the only school to have received British international school certificate in the region. I would rate them as DPWS>LVIS>Aster>GIS in long term and DPWS>Aster>LVIS>GIS in short term.
Which is better between Khaitan School and Vishv Bharti School for end of end education if we have a choice between the two?
Hello, both the schools are good and have scored 4+ out of 5 on parent’s feedback. VBS ranks higher on ‘value for money’. Academics is similar in both schools. Individual attention is tad better in Khaitan. The co-curricular and extra-curricular exposure is equally good in both schools.
Please refer our latest Noida school rankings at https://go4reviews.in/2018/07/best-schools-noida-2018/
Hi, thanks for the prompt response really appreciate it. Another follow up question, I heard that there is not much focus on English language in VBPS if this is true? For us money is not a factor but the kid needs more individual attention which I believe is more or less same in both schools. Any other school that you would recommend. Thanks again.
Ya, I felt too that focus on English is not much and strictness is more in vbps. Don’t know about khaitan. I think Amity, dps, and expressway international schools are better in overall development.
I am going to shift in Noida extension next year.. please suggest best school for class 3 for my daughter near by.
Pacific world school is really good. Fees is around 11k per month but then they don’t unnecessarily charge for small stuffs apart from uniform and books. They also have mid may meals for junior classes. Also, lot of extra curricular and sports option means parents save on outside expenses. faculty is very good. If you stay close to DPWS, you may choose that since it too has a very strong faculty.
Can you share the fee structure of Amity Noida for class Nursery?
Amity International school noida fees:
Admission fees:10k
Caution money:8k
Building fund:2k
Annualcharges:50k
Quarterly charges (Tuition fees+sports fees):25k
Thanks. So budget will be one criteria for admission.
And we want to buy our new house based on the school’s location.
So if I want to send my kid to one of these 2 schools, then should we buy at expressway or noida Extension will also work?
How much is annual fees.
Overall fees would be around 2.75 lac plus admission fees in Shriram and 2 lac plus admission fees in Shiv nadar (for nursery). Shiv nadar’s fees structure is already on its website. Since both schools are on other side of expressway, it is advised to go for expressway only. Or if you are keen on Noida extension, you may explore DPWS as well.
Please help urgently with these questions:
1. How far is sector-121 from expressway schools like Shiv Nadar and Shriram – travelling time in school bus? Or is it an insane decision to stay so far? Should we rather choose to stay on expressway for these 2 schools?
2. How much fees difference between Shriram and Shiv Nadar?
3. Are they both similar in terms of overall development, inculcating good values and sense of responsibility in child, English speaking and understanding, logical thinking and aptitude.
4. Is amity also similar to these 2 schools? But we might not get admission in 1st class.
Point wise answers:
1) It is far and if you stay in sector 121 in your own home, you are advised to look for schools in central noida. If schools are the key criteria, then yes, would suggest you to move. You dont want the kid to be spending 1.5 hours daily in just commuting.
2) Shriram is 75k to 125k costlier than Shiv Nadar
3) Yes, they are quite similar. Of course, Shriram is ICSE board and Shiv nadar is CBSE but the focus on core academics is delayed till 5th class in both schools.
4) Amity is different. It follows a push methodology of teaching more than pull which these two school follows. The individual attention also is less and the child gets less independence of thoughts overall.
We are moving to Noida Extension next month and have to get admission for our child in 6th grade. We’re willing to options in Noida and Expressway as well. Kindly suggest the best schools here as it’s very confusing to choose the best. Thanks.
For 6th class, you shall choose between DPWS and RYan in Noida extension. You will have multiple options in Noida schools but admissions in good schools are mostly over.
Isn’t Extension far from Expressway?
How about Vishawa Bharti and Bal Bharti. They seems to be mentioned in top schools but i see hardly any parents discussing them. I wonder why?
These are the most economical schools among the best ones. For someone low/medium on budget, these are obvious choices in the city.
I recently moved to India ( in Sep’17) and due to off-cycle movement I could admitted my son in GIIS, Noida (Sector 71) in class Ist. Now I am looking for better school for class 2nd.
My son knows spanish and English very well but I think he will loose advantage very soon…as most of the kids speak in Hindi.
Is there any school which is pure English?
where are you putting up? If expressway is approachable for you, you may try Shiv Nadar.
shiv nadar provides no admissions for class I-V. Please advise how to apply.
Please advise about Genesis. It is costly. Recent feedbacks have been mixed.

hello,
i am seeking admission for my daughter in KG. little confused between Billabong or khaitan. kindly suggest.
Khaitan is traditionally better. Billabong is good for junior classes but academically, no comparison.
How is Ryan international Noida? Can anyone throw some light on the acads and extra curricular activities!
It is good with focus on academics and discipline. Has shown good results. Decent co and extra curricular exposure as well but its mostly limited to intra school. Very less at inter school level.
Thanks Kalpana, today i got my son admitted in Ryan..Amity and Mayoor was also on my final list .finally did what was to be done.. ????
Congratulations. Keep participating in PTMs and make sure individual attention is provided to the child. All the best.
Is DPS Noida better or amity
both are of similar nature. DPS gives u benefit that tomorrow if parents are transferred, getting admission in dps in other city is easy. this year, result of amity was a bit better.
I live in Mayur Vihar phase3. A little confused as my kid has got admission in DPS Noida and Delhi schools are yet to come. Do any East Delhi school give competition to DPS noida
You must go for DPS Noida itself unless budget issues. after 2 years, you can switch to another DPS in Delhi if need be.
Thanks
how is somerville international on noida expressway?
good on discipline and has good senior class faculty. although there have been some reviews of approachability issues. infra also has a lot of scope for improvement.
Hi How is Indus Valley Noida?
Academically good. Would suggest for higher classes.

Hi ,
How is the Genesis Global School academically ?
Thanks
It has shown decent results. Please refer https://go4reviews.in/2016/08/class-x-cbse-results-of-noida-expressway-schools/ for more details. In a fortnight or so, we are going to update cbse results for 2017 for these schools as well.
Can anyone tell me about fee structure of Mayoor School Noida?
Hi , Thank you for previous answers , can you pls help on some more points also for end to end schooling.
1. Are academics in Lotus Valley better than Amity ?
2. How is the Manav Rachna school in noida ?
3. How is the Shiv Nadar School and Sommerville International school for end to end schooling in academics ?
ThankYou.
Please find below our views:
1. Are academics in Lotus Valley better than Amity ? CBSE results of Lotus valley are a tad better than Amity.
2. How is the Manav Rachna school in noida ? Still growing. Have got mixed reviews from parents. So, its a bit like taking chance as of today.
3. How is the Shiv Nadar School and Sommerville International school for end to end schooling in academics ? Just from academics point of view, both are similar with senior class faculty of more or less similar experience.
Dear Author,
Thanks for the Extensive Research !
I am a resident of central noida and looking for CBSE board school for my daughter, Could you please suggest between Lotus Valley , Amity and Manav Rachna (Sec-51) International schools…. in terms of academics and infra only… irrespective my place of residence and fees.
Already i have heard that SBS qualify both the criteria but admission is very very tough.
Thanks!
Which class you are getting your child admitted to? Assuming you are expecting end to end schooling, It has to be LV followed by Amity followed by Manav Rachna on the 2 counts.
Very Thanks for your suggestion.
Yes i am expecting end to end schooling ,On few more points i need your help.
1. Can i expect better academics in Lotus Valley than Amity ?
2. What do you say about Manav Rachna overall ?
3. Can we compare Step by Step with LV ?
4. How is the Shiv Nadar School for end to end schooling in academics ?
ThankYou.
How is army public school noida sector 37 noida
Good on academics and discipline front. If you are looking at formal schooling, its a good option.
Hi,
We are moving to Lotus Boulevard Sector – 100 next week and have to shift my daughter to Class IV from Ambience School to a good school. Kindly suggest, it will be a great help, pathways is too expensive. Step by step, people say is a good school, shall try there though not sure.
Thanks/Naresh
Yes, you must try step by step, thats one of the best and one of the most difficult one to get admission to in Noida. If you can afford 3.5 lakhs per annum, then Genesis is also a choice.
Pathways, DPS Gurgaon are the best schools in Noida I must due to the fact that both of my children’s are studying in these schools.
Thanks for sharing
Gyanshree fees structure:
Admission fees: 50k
Annual charges: 15k
Security: 10k
Tuition fees: 20k to 25k
Technology charges: 6k
Meal charges: 3-4k
Great thank you. And how about Step by Step and any another to add in my list?
I did applied to Sriram Millennium but after visiting school got different view.
In what terms you got different view for Shriram Millennium…..It would be great help in decision making. TIA.
In terms of infra specially like no smart boards, currently its only for class 4 and 5. AC is only in the corner of the room and not centralized.
Thanks alot
Thanks. I heard that academically Shiv nadar is bit slow, is it true?
My son is academically bright but bit shy. From Millennium you mean the one at sector 41, right?
Yes, Shiv Nadar lays little focus on academics in junior classes. But, he might find teaching more alike schools he has studied in. Nevertheless, their branch in Gurgaon follows same pattern and has decent academic results too for senior classes. Yes, by Millenium we meant sector 41 being closer to your place.
Hi, I am working in MNC at expressway but staying at Indirapuram. Can afford up to 2Lakh/annum. My child studied in London for 2 years and is good academically too. Please suggest good school with holistic development of the child.
I am open for both Expressway and Noida schools.
You must try Shiv Nadar and Millenium school. You could also try Lotus valley international. Decide based on what you are most comfortable with. Millenium would be closer to your place.
Hi, We are shifting to Noida sector 74 from west delhi. Looking for good convent or academic focused school in Noida in 1st standard for our daughter. Which is better – Somerville-22, Fr. Agnel, Apeejay-16A, Somerville International-E-way, Shriram Millennium. Fees should not be more than 10-15K per Month.
Hi, I would strike off Shriram Millenium because of its fees. Of the others mentioned, Fr Agnel has been on top of parents feedback while Somerville-22 has been good on Academics. Wont suggest Somerville International at this stage. Very little extra/co-curricular activities and the focus is more on discipline than on Academics. It needs some time.
Hello,
I am shifting to Noida Sec-134. I am looking for a school for daughter to be in 5th Std. from April-2017. She is currently going to The Khaitan School, sec-40. Can you please suggest me, If I should move her from there to a school on Expressway, but budget on the same lines as of Khaitan. Is JayPee Public school or DPS 132 worth a change. For me Khaitan is a little distant, so wanna know if it is worth taking the travel pain or change is advised.
Hi Ashwini, if these are the two options you have drilled down to, we would suggest to go for DPS 132. Its focus on academics has increased and for 5th Std., it looks like a good choice.
Hi,
Really thanks for your review.
I have visited both the schools.
The only -ve point with Millenium school (Sec 119) is dat the campus (& playground) is very small as compared to other schools. I doubt how would they accommodate senior classes which is about to start this year in new campus. The positive point is as school is new, it is clean and well maintained with all classes equipped as smart classes, but dont know Hwz the studies/education over there. I stay in Sec 49, both the schools are almost at equidistance from my place.
Have already taken positive feedbacks for both the schools (Mayoor school and The Millenium School) from the parents. Fees for both the schools is almost same.
Please do let me know about DPS, Expressway too. The infrastructure was really good, but
feedback from parents is not dat appreciating.
So now, I hv 3 schools to choose: Mayoor, Millenium and DPS Sec 132, Expressway. Kindly suggest, as I am very confused.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
The teachers in Millenium are more focused towards a particular child. If you are looking for long term academics, Mayoor might be better. Yes, DPS Expressway has some decent faculty but it is still not a comparison to some other schools on e-way.
Hi,
Very good discussion forum, really appreciate the efforts.
Well, m looking a good decent school for my son (Pre-nursery). As of now, i have selected Mayoor School and The Millenium school (Sec 119) and is little confused. Kindly advise which school I should opt for.
Thanks
Thanks for the kind words. It would depend on where you stay. Both are decent but Millenium school has a more modern way of teaching. A child would be more comfortable there. Do visit the schools (which you might have already done) before you decide.
My son is studying in class I in Mayoor School. I’m not dissatisfied in general… but is wary of how’s the school’s academic performance for higher classes as compared to other top schools. Should I change his school or not. I do not want to go for school with higher fees. Please advice.
Hi Team,
My son is studying in class- 1 in Khaitan Public School, Sahibabad. We are planning to relocate to Noida. Can you please advice some good schools with the maximum expenditure as 1.5 lac for a Year.
Regards,

If you are moving to expressway region, Shiv Nadar, Mayoor, Lotus valley could be tried. If you are moving to central Noida, there are plenty of options within the range. Fthr Agnel, VBS, Amity International and most of the others listed in the article fall in this fees range (off course, first year you will have to pay admission fees in addition).
Hi,
Can you please provide your reviews (in terms of academics & extra-circular) on Jagran Public school , Sec-47, Noida which is considered for Middle class people.
Which one would be value for money between Jagran, Khaitan, Ryan …
Thanks.
Hi Ashish, we are happy that you brought about a very significant topic of schools that have nominal fees. JPS (Jagran Public school) is a fairly decent traditional school. It had 72% average score in CBSE XII exams this year. Extra-curricular wise as well, they have reasonable options. It follows a traditional way of teaching and the student-teacher ratio is relatively higher.
Thanks for the extensive information, however i had a few more questions :
1. Does anyone know the fee structure of lotus valley , noida ?
2. Also how is the school when compared to Step by Step ?
3. do the admissions to pre-nursery / montessori also follow the same april timeline, or can they be admitted anytime during the year
Appreciate your response.
You may find some information of average tution fees under comments section at https://go4reviews.in/2014/09/comparison-of-noida-expressway-schools/
Step by step is undoubtedly better for its more close to traditional schooling at the same time offers plenty of co-curricular and extra co-curricular facilities.
Academically, the competition is stiff between SBS and LV.
Since demand for LV is high, they generally start their sessions from April.
This above information is 100% correct all the schools listed above are top schools in Noida with all the facilities, but there are another school named Aster Public School which is also one of the best in Noida and Delhi location.

hello, i am planning to shift to noida sec 34 and am looking for some good school for my daughter in grade 8 in session 2017-18. kindly suggest me some school which ofocus on overall development of the child and is also good in academics. also when do most of the schools in noida open admissions for higher grades, if any.
plz let me know which school is better in terms of acedmics, sports and extra curricular activities..i.e. sriram millinum- noida expressway or lotus valley international school. I m residing in sec 137..I want my daughter to get enroll in class I
Lotus valley has cbse curriculum while shriram has icse. lotus valley has 5 star amenities, shriram is more traditional looking yet has all amenities/facilities
I must admit that I am impressed with the in depth reviews here. & I really appreciate everyone’s efforts. I am moving from Bengaluru to Noida in April 2017. Am considering good schools for my daughter & son going to Class 4 & 3 respectively. Planning to stay on expressway. My consideration would be a school with good academics as well as overall personality development. Fees though not a big constraint, am wary of getting my kids into 5 star culture. Can you recommend some good schools. I was thinking between SBS, Amity International, DPS Noida, Mayoor, Somerville Sector 22.
You have a pretty good list for a starter. You may like to add Shriram millenium to the list (a very traditional looking school, with equal stress laid on all the fields).
How do you feel about TSMS, Noida (The Shriram Millenium School). Means how is it doing now in terms of academics & extra curricular. You think it will emerge as strongly as Shriram School, Gurgaon. I read that Noida TSMS is a joint venture between Educomp & Shriram group. So I guess its the same difference as being DPS managed & franchisee. Will it come out to be one of the best ones in terms of academics also in years to come in Noida. My kids will be going to Class 3,4. So for now its OK. But is it like I may have to shift them to more academically oriented schools around their 8th Class. Or may be TSMS improves by then. Your insights on this will help me decide.
Hi All, we are shifting to noida sector 137 in Dec 2016 and looking for school for my 3.5 year old son for nursery. I have already applied in Shiv Nadar School but he was not selected in draw. Now we have done registration in Indraspatha Global School, Sector 98. Can any one provide some feedback about this school? Most of the schools in noida have closed admission for next session for nursery. I think step by step school registration is still not open. Can you please advise what are the other school which are still open for us to apply for. Also parents staying in sector 137 , please share your feedback as well
Hello All,
We will soon be relocating to Noida Sector 93. Please help me choose between Shri Ram Millenium and Mayoor for my 6th Grader.
Regards.
Sri ram millenium if you are comfortable with the fees and ICSE board. Else go for Mayoor.
Hi,
I’m planning to shift to noida sector 134 or 137 in March 2017. Want to shortlist a school for my son, who is in 4th standard now. initially I had short listed Somervile, sector 132. But now I’m in a fix. I can afford around 20K quarterly.
My son is currently in Khaitan Public school, Sahibabad.
He’s quite good in academics & other co curricular activities. Can you suggest a school wherein the sports facilities are very good alongwith studies.
Kindly suggest.
Can you please give feedback on Shriram Millenium school..
Cons: ICSE board (if you prefer standard boards like CBSE), Lack of sports infrastructure, higher fees.
Rest feedback is generally positive.
I agree on sports infrastructure. Board is subjective. I did some research on fee front and concluded that there could be 1-2K per month difference but nothing significant. End of the day it is the school which appeals to you more and may be the one close to your house.
We chose Sriram because everyone’s review was:
– Good academics especially 5th onward.
– Kids are “down to earth”.
– Inculcate Indian value system.
and for us it was closest. Yes the fee is high but after little research it looked same as others. In below data Sriram & Shiv Nadar are actual. Step By Step I found the structure online so may not be accurate. Over all I think not a huge difference. I also wanted to analyse Lotus Valley but could not find fee structure anywhere and forgot to collect it from school.

Hi Himanshu
Did you also apply to Shiv Nadar..Is Shiv Nadar supposed to be better than Shriram?
We have been shortlisted for Shriram and Shiv Nadar is yet to open registration..We are in a dilemma if we should go ahead with Shriram or drop it to wait for Shiv Nadar..
Shiv Nadar registrations open on 13th but I did hear good about them. Different/Modern /alternative teaching approach and they do not burden the kid (parents) with loads of homework etc. This may equate to not much academics for some parents but that is perspective!
Sriram however scores on kids to teacher ratio also besides the points I mentioned earlier. They mentioned that they don’t have more than 30 students in a class. 25 is average. We are also on the same boat as you.
Himanshu
Both schools have good reviews and have a good lineage if we look at their previous ventures in Gurgaon. You will find Shiv Nadar staff more approachable than Shriram Millenium. That along with marginal fees and CBSE board may be in favor of Shiv Nadar. However, as of today, senior staff of Shriram is much more experienced and efficient in comparison to Shriram. We expect Shriram to be better on academics in comparison to Shiv Nadar for times to come.
Very good insights. Thanks Himanshu.
Hi,
I am seeking admission for my 3.5 year old son. We only applied for Amity last year but no success. Since we are staying in Sector 137, distance from Amity could be an issue.
This year we had applied for DPS Noida, Sector 34 and Sriram Millennium. Again no luck with DPS.
Waiting for Sriram result but I am worried about the fee which is more than most of the schools in region. I wanted to check with you why Sriram has such high fee and if it is really worth it?
I checked the ratings above and it has top scores for child attention & parents involvement. Above average for academics. Still does it commands that high fee?
My other concern is that it is one the only two ICSE board (along with Pathways) among 29 schools. I am not able to understand this wide divide between CBSE & ICSE board. How does it impact academic growth and future.
Thanks in advance.
Himanshu
ICSE is considered more exhaustive. You will see a child studying in ICSE in a particular class being taught more than what a child in same class in CBSE would be. There is also significant stress laid on research. Some kids that cope up with the brisk pace excel well. Others find it difficult. Shriram has one of the best faculty for senior classes in Noida expressway currently along with SBS. And thats why it commands that fees. We have some doubts about PAthways though. It is spending more on other activities.
Thank You so much for the help here. Keep up the good work!
Infact we got through Amity also but we chose not to get my child admitted..The infrastructure was not good..Also, I wanted my child to study in a non-conventional new age school..
We will be moving to sec 137. I am seeking admission for my kid in KG 2017 – 18. I have shortlisted amity, lotus valley and Millennium school.
Looking for holistic approach and not only academics.Kindly let me know which order should I consider them wrt teacher child ratio, co co curricular activities, fees.
Lotus valley/Millenium followed by Amity. I understand you are referring to Millenium school in sector 41 here?
Thanks for your response. Yes was referring to Millennium sec 41.
Hi,
We are staying in Sec-137 and seeking nursery admission(2017-18) for our daughter. We are confused between getting her admitted to JBM global for first few years and then shift her to some established schools in central Noida OR getting her directly admitted to Amity International School from Nursery itself.
We have budget limit of 25-30K per quarter. Please suggest?
Thanks
Given the budget constraint, you have a reasonable schools identified. Its difficult to get admission in Amity Intl at later point. Hence, we would suggest to go for Amity Intl at this stage itself.
I have just shifted to Noida and I wish to change my kids school next year. How is Sapphire International School for 9 and 3 std? I want a school that is not prohibitively expensive , yet has a good mix of academics and extra curricular activities. Pls suggest some schools near sec 50.
Sapphire is not suggested for senior classes. You may check the ones listed in the article.
Can someone please povide feedback on Gyanshree School
We shall include that in the list next year.
As in? Does it seem promising
So after a school survey and talking to couple of parents, here is our review:
1) Very good infra. Good sports facilities and well planned interiors with big halls and clubs.
2) Young teachers mostly lacking experience. So academics shall be a question as it stands today.
3) Decent setup for Child safety.
4) Parent/teachers interactions are reasonably frequent.
5) Parents generally satisfied but there are some ifs and buts like child lacking on a thing or two academically and on spoken skills.
Appreciate your efforts in giving a detailed response. Will skip this from my list.
Gyanshree was also reviewed and has been added to the list.

This list does not have some schools eg: Manav Rachna Sec-50, Billabong High School Sector 34.
Also, could you please explain how is the marking done for example what is the criteria to award 82 and not 83 or 85 or 90 for that matter. as 80-90 is very close as far as awarding these points are concerned.
Yes, some schools like the ones you mentioned or new schools (<4 years old) or some missionary schools are excluded due to lack of sufficient information and/or no response from school admin on queries. We have added couple of schools today and shall continue to modify the list as we happen to incorporate more schools here.
Regarding points system, the biggest factor leading to the difference quoted is average score from parents survey.
Points criteria is as below:
Academics: 55 points based on CBSE results (average scores of students appeared in 2016 board) if applicable or else 20 points for minimum qualification mandate + 15 points for NET/post graduate mandate + 20 points for social insights data from online sources + average score given by parents out of 45. It is this 20 + 45 from social insights data and parent review that is variable for schools.
Individual attention to child: 50 points to teacher student ratio. Rest 50 points based on average of responses from parents.
Infrastructure: Sports amenities (4 points each for swimming pool, cricket, soccer, lawn tennis, table tennis, gym, racing, basketball, hockey, boxing, volleyball, skating) and 2 points for unique outdoor sport like horse riding or shooting/archery, 20 and 10 points for IT and Lab Infrastructure respectively and remaining 20 from average parent score
Parents involvement: 50 points for PTM frequency and 50 points from average score from Parents survey
Safety: 20 points given for restricted entry and exit, 10 points deducted if small class children on upper floors, 20 points deducted for porous nature of plot. Rest points given based on Average score from Parents survey.
There is always some scope for improvement from point system’s perspective. But, we have given equal consideration to key parameters identified by parents during our last years survey.
Great work. Criteria to rate faculty would be a great inclusion. (high rating for highly experienced, lower attrition faculty)
