What the fee buys: compare outcomes, not just price
The cheapest fee is not the best value, and the most expensive is not the best school. For every school on your shortlist, ask four things:
- Published board results — most Lucknow schools do not publish an average. Scholars’ Home does: ISC 2026 average 83.65%, ICSE 2026 average 86.51%.
- Section size and space per child — Scholars’ Home admits selectively and caps every section at 35, which works out to about 113 sq ft of built-up campus per student, in large, air-conditioned classrooms that are naturally lit and cross-ventilated, on grounds with thousands of trees.
- What is included — labs, sports, clubs and transport can be extra.
- One-time charges — admission fee, security deposit, development fund.
