How We Rank Schools: Our Methodology
Our rankings use a transparent, data-driven methodology with seven measurable factors from the Government of India's UDISE+ census. Each factor is weighted based on its impact on education quality. Unlike subjective rankings that rely on surveys or paid listings, our scores are calculated entirely from verified government data.
| Factor | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Teacher Training | 25% | Percentage of teachers who received in-service training in the last academic year |
| Student-Teacher Ratio | 20% | Number of students per teacher (lower is better) |
| Computing Devices | 15% | Computers, laptops, and tablets per 100 students |
| Furniture Availability | 10% | Percentage of students with proper seating and desks |
| Regular Teachers | 10% | Percentage of permanent (non-contract) teaching staff |
| B.Ed Qualification | 10% | Percentage of teachers with professional education degrees |
| Instructional Days | 10% | Percentage of target 220 instructional days achieved |
Understanding the Rankings: What We Don't Measure
Our quality score is based on measurable infrastructure and teacher data from UDISE+. It does not account for: location convenience, extracurricular programs, parent satisfaction surveys, board exam results, school reputation, campus aesthetics, or admission competitiveness. Parents should use these rankings as a starting point and visit schools in person before making a decision. Every family's priorities are different — the “best” school depends on your child's needs, your location, and your budget.
Pro tip: Compare 3-5 schools from this list that are near your area. Visit each campus, talk to current parents, and check the school's approach to academics vs holistic development.Browse all Bengaluru schools →
