Govt.st.ashram Hs Alur in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh ranks first among oldest schools in Kurnool with Founded 1942 (Students: 333).

How are oldest schools in Kurnool ranked?

Are these 2026 rankings official?

No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official Indian data (CBSE SARAS – list of affiliated schools; UDISE+ Know Your School – school report cards and state statistics). Nothing on this site ranks Indian schools by results, because no board or ministry publishes school-level results. Lists are ordered by size, pupil–teacher ratio, growth, founding year or name, each of which describes the school rather than its outcomes.
