for parents, by parents

Know the school before you fill the admission form.

Every school in India reports its teachers, classrooms and toilets to the government each year. We put that record in plain words. Parents add what the record can't tell you, and mark what it gets wrong.

Your location stays approximate (about 100 m) and is not saved.

How to read a school page

Three kinds of information, and each one looks different, so you always know who is speaking.

UDISE+ record: Blue, printed, ruled: what the school told the government. Teachers, students, classrooms, water, toilets, computers. It comes from the yearly UDISE+ census, which 14,50,939 schools filed for 2025-26. We explain each number and score the basics out of 100.
“Kind teachers, strict on fees.”: Yellow notes: what parents, students and teachers say. Reviews, stories, photos and concerns. The census can't tell you if the teaching is good or the fees are fair. People who were there can.
4 working only 1 works: Red pen: where a parent says the record is wrong. Schools fill the census themselves, and some numbers are old or wrong. A correction shows next to the official figure, and turns solid once other parents confirm it.
