Top schools
in Gorakhpur.

Updated 4 November 2026
What the top schools in Gorakhpur have in common
- A board registration you can look up. CBSE schools are listed on the CBSE SARAS portal with their affiliation number and level; ICSE schools are affiliated to CISCE.
- Results published with names. A pass percentage and a list of every student's marks says more than a single topper's photo.
- Regular testing. Ask how often children are tested, and how parents hear about the results.
- Labs and libraries in use. Look for students doing practicals, not equipment locked in a cupboard.
- Safety and transport. Bus routes near your home, who is at the gate, and how pick-up works.
- Fees in writing. The full schedule for the year, not just the admission fee.
- A visit on a working day. Sit in a class, see a lab and meet the Principal.
For a full checklist, read how to choose a CBSE school or how to choose an ICSE school, and ICSE or CBSE if you have not picked a board.
