Sharada Vidyalaya in Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka ranks first among private schools in Dakshina Kannada with Students 1,814 (Students: 1,814).
How are private schools in Dakshina Kannada 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.
