My elder son was admitted in grade 4 in 2011 & younger son was admitted in grade K in 2012.
I am puzzled what is the basis of school ranking because in my opinion, this school stands at the top of the list by all parameter
Faculties and administrative members are awesome. They are extremely helpful, always smiling and know their stuff. I as a responsible father of two kids would strongly recommend everyone to this school. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
