Best Matric Schools in Hyderabad (2026): Board Results, Fees & Parent Checklist

Search for the best Matric schools in Hyderabad and you mostly get lists built on reputation. The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Hyderabad offers something firmer. For each Class 10 exam it posts a result gazette that prints every candidate's roll number, marks, grade and pass or fail status, grouped under the code and name of the school that entered them. This guide counts that gazette for Hyderabad district, sets it beside the board's own headline figures, and explains what the numbers can and cannot tell a family choosing a school. SchoolNama's Hyderabad city page lists the individual campuses we hold.

In Sindh, Matric is examined in two separate parts. SSC Part I covers Class 9 and SSC Part II covers Class 10, and each has its own papers and results. BISE Hyderabad's 2026 timetable put both parts in the same fortnight, starting on 7 April 2026, with Class 10 papers in the morning session and Class 9 papers in the afternoon. The board examines nine districts: Hyderabad, Matiari, Tando Allahyar, Tando Muhammad Khan, Badin, Sujawal, Thatta, Dadu and Jamshoro. Almost all its Matric candidates take the Science group. In 2026, 78,935 registered for Class 10 Science and 1,570 for the General group.

The Class 10 results are out; the Class 9 results are not yet. The board's statistical sheets for the SSC-II Annual 2026 exam are dated 13 August 2026, and The Nation reported the Science result on 14 August. In Science, 72,871 of the 77,703 candidates who appeared passed, which works out to 93.8%. Girls passed at 95.5% and boys at 92.6%. In the General group, 1,388 of 1,488 passed. Hyderabad district alone had 23,720 Science candidates appear and 22,234 pass, or 93.7%. As of 28 September 2026 the board's homepage showed no Class 9 result for 2026. Its latest Class 9 statistical sheet is for the 2025 exam and is dated 7 January 2026, so check the board's own site for the 2026 Class 9 result rather than result aggregator pages.

In Science, two of the three position holders came from outside Hyderabad city. In Science, first place, with 991 marks out of 1,100, went to a student of The Foundation Grammar Higher Secondary School in Tando Allahyar, and second, with 986, to a student of Govt High School No. 1 Matli. Third place, with 982, went to a student of St Mary's Convent (G) Higher Secondary School in Hyderabad. In the General group, second and third places both went to students of Govt Girls High School Latifabad No. 6, and first place went to a student of a Deaf Reach high school in Rashidabad, Tando Allahyar. We have not repeated students' names. Toppers say little about a whole class, which is why the rest of this guide uses the gazette.

We counted the Science gazette ourselves. Its Hyderabad district section has 360 school entries (the board reports a separate Hyderabad-Outside section, which includes Tando Jam and which we have not counted here) with 23,964 registered candidates between them, 22,234 of whom passed, the same pass total as the board's statistical sheet. The median entry registered 34 candidates. By our count, 101 entries had fewer than 20 candidates, 43 had fewer than 10, and 68 had 100 or more. The gazette does not mark which candidates were absent, so the pass figures in this guide are shares of registered candidates. That runs slightly below the board's own rate, which is calculated on candidates who appeared.

A high pass rate on its own separates very few Hyderabad schools. 156 of the 360 entries passed every registered candidate, but 75 of those had fewer than 20 students and 34 had fewer than 10. A-1, the gazette's top grade, spreads schools out much more. Across the district, 4,994 candidates, or about one in five registered, earned A-1. St Mary's Convent (G) Higher Secondary School had 105 A-1s among 115 candidates. Govt Comprehensive Boys Higher Secondary School in Latifabad No. 10, one of the largest entries at 539 candidates, had 12. Neither figure tells you what either school would do for your child. They show what each school's intake and teaching produced together.

The table below shows a spread of Hyderabad schools that entered 100 or more Science candidates in 2026: government and private, boys' and girls'. It is not a ranking, and it leaves out many good schools with smaller classes. The largest single entry in the district was a government girls' school, Govt Girls Pilot Secondary School in Hirabad, with 554 candidates, and government schools between them entered more than half the district's candidates.

Look at who a school enters, not only at its results. By our count, the 83 entries whose names begin with 'Govt' registered 13,712 candidates, passed 89.4% of them and earned A-1 for 10.8%. The other 277 entries, mostly private schools, registered 10,252, passed 97.3% and earned A-1 for 34.2%. A school that selects at admission, or steers weaker students elsewhere before Class 10, will post stronger figures than one that enters everyone who reaches it. Ask a school how many students started Class 9 with it and how many sat Class 10 under its code.

Board fit matters in the cantonment. The Federal Board's (FBISE) affiliated list includes, among others, F.G. Public School No. 1 (Boys), F.G. Public School No. 2 (Girls) and F.G. Public School on Tariq Road in Hyderabad Cantt, Cantt Public Girls School & College in the Defence Officers Housing Scheme, TCF's Habibmetro campus near Kohsar, and WAPDA High School in Hussainabad. Those schools' FBISE results are not in BISE Hyderabad's gazette. Army Public School & College appears on both boards' lists, for its Cantt campus and its Sindh Regimental Centre campus on Autobahn Road, and its website says its senior section runs Hyderabad Board, Federal Board and Cambridge streams. If you choose it, ask which stream your child would join.

Several schools better known for Cambridge also enter Matric candidates, often in small numbers. In 2026 the Beaconhouse School System entered 60 Science candidates under its Qasimabad code and 37 under its Latifabad No. 3 code, and Allied School's Shahbaz and Shah Latif campuses entered 11 and 5. We found no entry under The City School's name in the gazette's Hyderabad district section. If a school says it offers Matric, ask which board and which campus runs Classes 9 and 10, and look the code up in the gazette. Our guide to O Level schools in Hyderabad covers the Cambridge side.

SchoolNama's own Hyderabad data cannot do this filtering for you yet, and we would rather say so. We hold 120 Hyderabad listings, all of them basic profiles, spread across Latifabad, Qasimabad and the Cantt area, and 90 have no curriculum recorded. All 30 listings tagged Matric are public institutions, and the tag is unreliable: 12 are colleges, such as government degree colleges and the Government College of Technology. None of our 90 private or trust listings has a curriculum recorded, even though schools such as Public School Hyderabad, Mother Montessori Cambridge School, Rockford and St Bonaventure's enter Matric candidates in the gazette. The shortlist in this guide comes from the board's documents, not from our tags.

Fees are where the evidence is thinnest. SchoolNama holds no fee record for any Hyderabad listing, and neither Army Public School & College's nor Public School Hyderabad's website, both of which we opened, published a Matric fee schedule. We have not quoted fee figures from aggregator sites because we could not trace them to the schools. Sindh's rules give parents some leverage. Dawn reported in July 2026 that private schools normally raise fees only after the Directorate of Inspection and Registration of Private Institutions approves a 5% increase, which they apply for when renewing registration. The Nation reported in April 2026 that under the province's revised fee guidelines for the 2026-27 session, schools may not collect fees beyond March from students sitting the Matric board exam. Ask each school for a written first-year cost, and ask whether any increase has the directorate's approval.

Marks matter less than several other things. Board fit comes first, as above. Many Hyderabad schools teach boys and girls in separate schools or sections with their own board codes, so check how Classes 9 and 10 are organised at the campus you visit. Ask whether the school continues to Classes 11 and 12, since several schools in the table are higher secondary schools. Commute is often the deciding factor: SchoolNama does not yet list any pick-and-drop providers or tutors in Hyderabad, so ask each school about its own vans and try the journey at school time. Once you have two or three candidates, SchoolNama's compare page shows what we hold for each listing. Treat those listings as a starting point, and confirm the board, the full Class 10 result and the fees with each school.
