States Covered	22
Survey Respondents	Approximately 18,000
Cities Covered	34
Evaluation	14-15 parameters depending on school category

What Parents Should Know About School Rankings

School rankings can provide a useful starting point for comparing institutions, but they should not be treated as the only factor in selecting a school. EducationWorld itself advises families to use rankings primarily for shortlisting before conducting additional research.

• Check the specific category in which a school is ranked.
• Compare curriculum and academic approach.
• Review fees and admission requirements.
• Consider distance and transport arrangements.
• Evaluate facilities and student support.
• Visit the school where possible before making a final decision.

The EducationWorld Rankings 2026-27 show Delhi schools performing strongly across several distinct categories, including state-government, central-government and budget-private education. The results provide families with another comparison point, while the final choice of school should also consider a student's individual academic, social and practical requirements.
