About GetSchoolsInfo
Welcome to GetSchoolsInfo – India's independent school discovery platform helping parents make informed enrollment decisions based on objective, data-driven insights.
Who We Are
GetSchoolsInfo is not affiliated with any government entity. We are an independent platform that makes government education data accessible and actionable for parents across India.
Mission
To democratize access to school quality data so every child finds the right learning environment.
What We Do
We transform complex UDISE+ (Unified District Information System for Education Plus) government data into parent-friendly school quality metrics.
How We Score Schools
Every school on GetSchoolsInfo receives a weighted quality score out of 100 across 5 dimensions, calculated entirely from official UDISE+ 2024-25 data. No surveys, no paid placements, no subjective opinions.
Student-teacher ratio (graduated: ≤20 best, 20-30 good, 30-40 fair), teacher training %, postgraduate qualifications %, regular vs contract staff ratio. Faculty is the highest-weighted dimension — research consistently shows teacher quality is the single biggest predictor of learning outcomes.
Classrooms in good condition (graduated by count), library, playground, students-per-classroom overcrowding check (≤30 ideal, 30-45 acceptable), furniture availability percentage.
Pucca boundary wall, drinking water access, functioning toilets for both genders, fire safety equipment, handwash facilities, medical checkup provision, electricity supply.
Internet connectivity, dedicated ICT lab, smart boards and projectors (graduated by count), computing devices per 100 students.
Wheelchair ramps, CWSN-accessible toilets, special needs (CWSN) education support. Ensures schools are accessible to children with disabilities.
Scoring thresholds are calibrated against official benchmarks:
Every metric uses graduated scoring — not just yes/no. A school with 20 classrooms scores higher than one with 3. A student-teacher ratio of 15 scores higher than 35. This mirrors real-world quality differences that binary checks miss.
Why We Built This
Finding the right school shouldn't require decoding government databases or relying on word-of-mouth. We believe every parent deserves:
- Transparent information about school quality
- Objective comparisons based on national standards
- Location-based search to discover nearby schools
- Free access to data that's already public but hard to navigate
Our Commitment
- Data AccuracyWe refresh school data periodically from UDISE+ sources
- Objective AnalysisNo paid promotions or school partnerships
- Privacy FirstYour search data stays private
- Continuous ImprovementWe refine our algorithms based on parent feedback
