About the listed dataCoverage, management, location and board breakdowns
What the listed data shows
WikiSchools currently publishes 2,080 qualifying school profiles for Chennai. Together, their annual records report 18,37,128 students and 75,356 teachers. Among profiles with usable staffing figures, the median is 24 students per teacher and the average is 26.
The source classifies 782 listed schools as urban and 1,298 as rural. Secondary-board information is present for 1,662 profiles; an unreported board often means that the school does not offer secondary classes, so it should not automatically be treated as missing information.
