About the listed dataCoverage, management, location and board breakdowns

What the listed data shows

WikiSchools currently publishes 340 qualifying school profiles for Kolkata. Together, their annual records report 2,67,336 students and 7,566 teachers. Among profiles with usable staffing figures, the median is 32 students per teacher and the average is 40.

The source classifies 340 listed schools as urban and 0 as rural. Secondary-board information is present for 274 profiles; an unreported board often means that the school does not offer secondary classes, so it should not automatically be treated as missing information.
