The school looks so impressive outside with almost zero experienced teachers. My daughter is doing 1st STD .They won't teach anything in school . The worst management that i have ever seen.

I ve never written a review for any place. But I feel so compelled to write about Chennai public school as it is a seriously pathetic school and future students should not get fooled.

View Moreere students, teachers and parents don't know whats happening, There is absolutely no respect and concern for parents. This is evident even from totally uncourteous manner of talk when they know that a parent is calling. This is not the way they talk when a prospective parent calls wanting to put their hapless child in. No form of communication is allowed with teachers other than direct visit by parents to the school, and that too at a fixed time slot decided by them then and There. This is at a time when there is extensive communication between parents and teachers even through a watsapp group in other schools. Seeing the principal is even more impossible. Nonveg is not allowed in school but we were not informed about this before admission. On being asked a reason there came a lame excuse that the smell lingers on in the ac class rooms. For the amount of money these people are wringing from us, they can as well have a non ac dining hall. We have been in different schools in different cities due to our work . Never seen such worthless people. I will have to pull out my kids as soon as I can before further emotional and educational damage is done to them and us. View Less

Speaking from personal experience as an alumni of this school, I have studied class 11 and 12 here which is pretty much the most crucial part of a students life and I PLEAD YOU TO READ THIS BEFORE YOU JOIN YOUR CHILD HERE.(I have not written this to defame the school but only in hope that it may change to support the hype it has developed) .I was ... View Morea hosteler here and have to say the experience was terrible.
I will start with the education, most teachers are not good and if you want quality education, not the place. After the child joins no personal interest in him/her is shown what so ever. Contacting the principal, or any official whatsoever is a tedious procedure. The rules are very strict and quite old fashioned. ACs hardly work especially in the summer. Forget about sports, just terrible, the worst I have seen in any school.
When I was in 12th we didn't have a physics teacher for many months and all the lab work was done hurriedly at the end by a teacher with zero experience who ended up making us do all the work.
Coming to the hostel, the ac is turned on from 10 pm -4am and in summer it hardly ever works. You are not allowed to walk outside the hostel at all. Either you are in the hostel or in a study room after school finishes. The bathrooms are extremely dirty and many times are flooded with insects. The shelves are cheap and can easily be broken into and quite often things get stolen.
Children get sick quite often and they take them to a quite mediocre hospital. The study hour timings are ridiculous and force you to forget about sports or any extra curriculars. They charge heavily for everything including coming late from a holiday. Without any reason or notice the hostel fees was increased substantially with no change in any amenities after a year.
The mess is horrible and food mediocre with zero nutritional value. They make unhealthy,oily food and every liquid ranging from dal to milk is diluted. The faculty and officials keep on changing. Feuds among authorities is common and the students suffer because of it. There are zero field trips or excursions.i would like to conclude by saying it's purely commercial and students concerns are the last thing they have in mind here.
For further queries contact me at davidsam1998@gmail.com, I'm more than happy to elaborate , as there are still quite a few things that I have not mentioned which might be considered controversial. View Less

all the teachers are underpaid and therefore they do not have quality teachers. the attitude of teachers is also very bad. since they have got a name now , they just dont care.

i too agree with the above comments. Off late the school has become very lethargic and they just don't address parent's concerns anymore. You go to them with any complaint or concern , it is completely of no use.for eg: if your school bus does not arrive on time repeatedly, and you complain to the management, they very irresponsibly tell you that ...

Getting admission is easy. Should not have any issue.
There is a big hype for this school as their curricular is very good.
Books & clothes are of good quality and very expensive too.
Till few years back toilets were very neat and were maintained in hygienic manner.
However teaching is pathetic. It was not like that before.
My kid studied from ... View More the time school started its operations and few teachers were very good.
Now the teaching quality is very poor including their attitude.
Teachers are not interested in teaching for reasons best known to them.
Multiple feedback's given but till date no response.
You cannot meet principal, subject teachers do not respond.
When you meet coordinator, they will say we need to teach in home.
If we have to teach in home, why should we spend so much money and send them to this school?
They never accepted that there is a problem in teaching and way of teaching.
Communication is bad too.
Rarely there will be homework.
Concepts are not thought properly - let it be maths or science.
English grimmer is not at all thought. Whatever is there in books it gets rushed.
My kid fears to ask doubts as they are not encouraged to ask doubts to teachers.
Now this fear of asking doubt has raised so much that my kid even fears asking doubts in home :(
toilets have become like public places - all kind of nonsense written. Not sure why school authorities have not taken any action.
Heard all these from many parents.
Though many parents complained, nothing materialistic has happened and I presume nothing will happen.
Decided to take my kid out of this school.
Summary:
School is very good for rich people who can afford high fees and tutions. Never there will be any complain from school on your kid.
However this is not the right school for parents and children who think gaining knowledge is more important (rather than costly expensive books).

I agree with Hema Dec6 2012 review.
My kid is in XI th std. and she hates to go to School because the teachers She says are not good at all. I am seriously considering other schools.
This school is only interested in maximizing their profits. I don't think there is anything wrong with that but when it comes at the cost of compromising your ki ... View Mored's education the problem starts there.
The school pays teachers very less. Almost all of them are underpaid and hence they do not get GOOD teachers and within a year the Good teachers leave the school and go. Most teachers working here are REJECTS of nearby schools â especially Velammal.
The Chennai Public school management also believes in revenues from EVERY TRANSACTION - for example - for the Annual day - if your kid is doing a skit the charges for the dress would be close to Rs2500/- ONce you cough up the money you will find that the dress does not fit well. You will have no one to go and complain (thatâs the best part).
The school also charges very high for BOOKS (no bills are given) Most parents cannot complain because they have their kids there. The toilets are BADLY maintained (as they do not pay the cleaners well recently ALL of them resigned work on a single day)
Parents please donât look at the building and get your kid admitted there. This school does not have a proper playground / library / lab at all. The PASS results that are being advertised by the school is happening because of the FIIT JEE program running in the school and not from their regular students. I am worried about my kid â so please think twice before you put your kid here.

It is the nice infrastructure, advanced amenities and overall ambiance which appealed to me first. I visited Chennai Public School, Anna Nagar, to enquire about my niece admission to the Pre-primary level. I got quite a co-operative response from the school administrative office while collecting the application form.

I was gathering information about good schools since it was time for my sonâs admission. Then few of my colleagues mentioned of Chennai Public School and insisted on exploring the school website.

It has superb infrastructure which very few schools have. There are separate boarding facilities for girls and boys, labs with latest equipments as well as libraries with collection of latest books.
The course curriculum has been designed keeping international standard in mind. Since I was planning to send my son abroad, I decided this school will offer the best stepping stone. I talked to the school authority for admission process and then collected the form. The rest of the process related to admission went off smoothly. Now, my son is doing really well in the school.
