Meghalaya Ranks 11,443 Schools Under New Performance Grading System

The Meghalaya State Education Department released a comprehensive ranking of 11,443 schools under a newly introduced performance grading system effective from the 2023-24 academic year. The grading framework evaluates schools on criteria such as student enrollment, teacher‑student ratio, infrastructure quality, exam results, and extracurricular participation, categorising institutions into grades A, B, C and D. The top‑ranked school, as highlighted in the report, is a public institution located in the state’s capital region, though its name is not disclosed in the initial release. The rankings aim to promote transparency, encourage healthy competition among schools, and assist parents in making informed choices. The department plans to publish the full list online and will use the data to guide resource allocation and targeted interventions.
