How did you apply to this School?

I applied through the admission form.

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

The teachers are experienced and professional. They give a perfect explanation of the topic that is being taught in the class or any relevant question asked of them. They are of a very friendly and understanding nature and most of the time are not strict with the students until and unless a student misbehaves or does any irrelevant thing.

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

As of now. I haven’t found many bad things about the school faculty but here are some of them:

The teachers have started giving the copy work in the form of PDF which is to be done at home, this is a kind of burden on the students as some of them go to tuition and those who do self-study are not able to devote the time to studies which they wanted.

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

The school has almost all the facilities required in a school, a good library, playground, basketball court, volleyball net, cricket net, first aid room, science lab, computer lab, etc. The school has a large underground parking and CCTV has been installed in the building to ensure the safety of the school staff and prevent any accidents.

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

The classes which are on the 3rd floor of the school are the only ones with air conditioners. This is wrong, I believe that at least all the senior classes (9-12) should be air-conditioned. The school’s basketball court is not proper, it is made of concrete or maybe cement blocks which makes the surface of the court uneven and the ball sometimes bounces abnormally. Also, the height of the baskets is not proper.

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

The good thing is that teachers are able to manage the classes because teachers and students are cooperative. Since there are many students in our school. Each standard is divided into 6-7 sections and each teacher is assigned 2-3 sections from the particular standard making it easier for the teacher to handle the class.

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

The only bad thing is that the sections assigned to the teachers are sometimes pretty far from each other and might take some time for the teacher to reach and when there is no teacher in the class, the students might misbehave and create a nuisance which might be a difficult situation for the monitors but rarely happens as there are in charges and peons on every floor. The monitors are also responsible which refrains the happening of such situations.

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

Some great amenities are:

  • Every class has a smart board which makes learning virtual and immersive.
  • Our school has an ATL (Atal Tinkering Lab) and also conducts many quests and Olympiads on different levels which provides good exposure to the students.

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

Firstly, I would like to change the sports facilities as I think they are not proper. I would like to have all the classes air conditioned as it would be good for the students who are coming to study in the summers of Rajasthan and would also like to increase the size and make the auditorium of the school more comfortable.

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