Frequently asked questions
What is the best fastest growing school in Chennai?
Narayana E-Techno School in Chennai, Tamil Nadu ranks first among fastest-growing schools in Chennai with 5-year growth +49.9% (Students: 753).
How are fastest-growing schools in Chennai ranked?
CBSE schools with at least 300 students whose enrolment grew most over five years, from a base of at least 150. Growth above 300% is left out as a likely reporting change. Figures are the most recent published by the national authority and matched to the school directory.
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.
