How we picked the best schools in Darjeeling

Ranking is mechanical, not editorial. Schools are ordered by their average parent rating on AdmissionSchool, and ties are broken by how many reviews that rating rests on — a 4.6 from 40 parents outranks a 4.6 from four. Schools with no reviews yet are not ranked.

No school pays for a position on this page. Because ratings move as parents post reviews, this list changes through the 2026-27 admission cycle. Treat it as a shortlist starting point: check the board, the annual fee band and the commute from your home before you enquire, since the "best" school in Darjeeling is the one that fits your child.
