How did you apply to this School?

My parents admitted me to this school.

What are some of the good things about the faculty of your School?

• The faculty of the school is highly qualified and dedicated. They possess the required skills to assess students.
• They are so sweet and humble that you will connect to them at first.
• They are formal and highly professional in their workspace.
• I also had teachers who would guide me one to one, to make sure I was doing the right thing.

What are some of the bad things about the faculty of your School?

• Few teachers are busy gathering students for their tuition classes.
• They treat students differently who were taking tuition classes from them.
• Some teachers are so strict and rigid that they are never flexible with the student’s learning.

What are some of the good things about the infrastructure of your School?

• The school is well maintained and could be adjusted as per students’ requirements.
• The school has well-ventilated classrooms with adequate lighting and fans.
• The washrooms are clean and hygienic.
• There are other facilities available like computer labs, assembly area, parking area, canteen, water coolers, dance room, games equipment. There are excellent transport service as well. The school is near my house.

What are some of the bad things about the infrastructure of your School?

The foremost thing I feel is the the need of a separate playground because the assembly area is used as a playground. It is so compact that there are a few accidents as well.

Expanding and upgrading infrastructure: This is an urgent need to expand the infrastructure because it is somewhat less compared to the increasing strength of students. Though they have built new buildings and trying to cater for the needs of students.

What are some of the good things about the teacher-to-student ratio of your School?

The ratio is quite good. It is around 30-35 students to 1 teacher. Having this teacher-to-student ratio is decent because the teacher can focus on every student. However, this division was not uniform as there are sections where there were more students.

What are some of the bad things about the teacher-to-student ratio of your School?

The teacher-to-student ratio is fine. However, owing to the non-uniform distribution of strength of students, the workload of teachers could not be divided properly. Some are too stressed to focus on the good of the students. Rather some students always remain averse to connecting to the teacher.

What are some of the great initiatives/amenities offered in your School?

This school has been a great experience for me:

• Celebration of important days: This is a real memory maker as we celebrate by connecting to students of other sections. Also on the results day, there are functions where we get a photograph clicked with our prizes and all.
• Curricular activities: There are so many different activities organised that one could develop and showcase their talent and skills. It encourages students.

What are the things you would have liked to change about your School if you could?

I don’t have any suggestions coming up to change anything in the school because the school made my experience sweet the way it was. But there is one thing I would want to change: the teachers should focus entirely on students’ studies rather than making a profit from students.

How likely are you to recommend this School to other students?

8 out of 10.
