Sunbeam English School in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh ranks first among residential schools in Varanasi with Students 3,616 (Students: 3,616).
How are residential schools in Varanasi ranked?
Boarding and partly residential CBSE schools. 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.
