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

Most lists of the best Matric schools in Sialkot are built on reputation and copied from one site to the next. The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Gujranwala publishes something more useful. Its result gazette for the 2026 Class 10 exam, declared on 6 August 2026, includes a table of every institution that entered candidates: the board's institute code, the school's name, and how many students appeared and passed in the Science and General groups. This guide reads that table for Sialkot district, compares it with 2025, and explains what the numbers can and cannot tell a family. Our Sialkot city page lists the campuses SchoolNama holds, and our guides to the best schools in Sialkot and to O Level schools in Sialkot cover the wider and the Cambridge options.

Sialkot is one of six districts on BISE Gujranwala's jurisdiction page, alongside Gujranwala, Gujrat, Mandi Bahauddin, Hafizabad and Narowal. To pick out Sialkot schools we used the board's own affiliated-institutes page. Filtered to Sialkot district, it lists 843 schools and higher secondary schools, with colleges listed separately: 330 schools under 'Male', every one with a code beginning 161; 445 schools under 'Female', all beginning 162; and 20 male and 48 female higher secondary schools, beginning 361 and 362. The board does not publish a key to its codes, so reading the second digit, 6, as Sialkot and the third as boys or girls is our inference from that filter, but the 2026 results table bears it out. The entries in other series that mention Sialkot or its tehsils are on roads named after them in Gujranwala or Narowal, apart from one Lalamusa school whose address reads 'Distt. Sialkot', and no Sialkot entry has a boys' name under a girls' code or the reverse. The codes cover the whole district, not only the city. 120 entries in the 2026 table name Daska in their address, 123 name Pasrur and 48 name Sambrial, and many more are villages.

A second board matters in the Cantonment and beyond. On the Federal Board's (FBISE) affiliated list we counted 17 entries at SSC level with Sialkot addresses: six Army Public School entries (the school and college on Zafar Ali Road, its girls' branch, and the schools at Ugoki Cantt, Marala, Pasrur and Chawinda), four F.G. Public Schools in the Cantt (No. 1 and No. 2, each with a boys' and a girls' entry), Fauji Foundation Model School in the Cantt, three Rangers Public Schools, Cantt Public High School & Girls College, Roots International Schools & Colleges on Aziz Shaheed Road, and Madrassa tuz Zahra High School at Toorabad. FBISE's SSC is also Matric, so these are Matric schools too, but none of these Army Public, F.G. or Rangers schools appears in BISE Gujranwala's table, so their results are not in the figures below. A few names sit on both lists: BISE Gujranwala's table includes Cantt Public High School for Girls on Mirza Abdul Rauf Road, which entered 35 candidates, and small Roots International and Madrassa tuz-Zahra entries. Fauji Foundation Model School's boys' and girls' branches in Pasrur are also in the BISE Gujranwala table, with 13 and 12 candidates. Ask any school which board its Class 10 students will sit.

Across the whole board, 245,728 candidates applied for the 2026 Class 10 exam, 242,192 appeared and 168,266 passed, a pass rate of 69.48%. That is down from 70.58% in 2025 and 80.77% in 2023, according to the five-year comparison in the gazette. Science Group candidates passed at 72.45% and General Group candidates at 60.97%. School-going candidates did far better than private ones: in the Science Group, regular candidates passed at 81.22% and private candidates at 55.22%.

By our count, the 767 entries under Sialkot codes entered 39,329 regular candidates in 2026 and passed 30,444 of them, or 77.41%. In 2025 the same code series had 747 entries, 38,410 candidates and a pass rate of 77.21%, so the result for schools in the district barely moved, while the board's overall rate, which includes private candidates, slipped from 70.58% to 69.48%. Private candidates, who sit without a school, are not in this table, which is one reason these rates are higher than the board's headline figure. The median entry had 30 candidates. 254 entries had fewer than 20, 95 had fewer than 10, and 94 had 100 or more. Small classes make pass rates swing: 105 entries passed every candidate, but 69 of those had fewer than 20 students and 36 had fewer than 10. Only 12 entries with 50 or more candidates passed everyone, the largest being Allama Iqbal Public High School for Girls in the Cantt, with 141, and Hassan Scholars Public School for Boys at Kingra, Pasrur, with 103.

Top positions say little about a whole school. No Sialkot school produced one of the board's overall top three in 2026. In the board's top ten for the Science Group, two Sialkot girls' schools appear: St. Mary's School for Girls on Wazirabad Road, Harar, in ninth place, and Danish Public Girls High School, Sambrial, in tenth, both shared places. In the General Group top ten, sixth place went to a student of Govt. Islamia Girls High School, Daska. We have not repeated students' names.

The table below shows a spread of Sialkot district schools that entered a meaningful number of students in 2026, with their 2025 figures where the same code appears: government and private, boys' and girls', city and tehsil. It is not a ranking, and it leaves out many good schools with smaller classes. The largest single entry under the Sialkot codes was Govt. High School, Daska, with 806 candidates and a pass rate of 87.97%. Year-to-year changes are worth a look. Govt. Christian Girls High School, Haji Pura entered about the same number both years, but its pass rate fell from 86.23% to 73.33%. The two Edison Roots campuses on the table entered 5 and 1 candidates in 2025 and 182 and 167 in 2026, so one year of figures tells you little about them yet.

Look at who a school enters, not only its pass rate. Across the Sialkot codes, the 346 entries whose names begin with 'Govt' or 'Government' entered 24,216 candidates and passed 71.85%; the other 421 entries entered 15,113 and passed 86.31%. Codes we read as girls' passed 79.17% of 24,870 candidates, and boys' codes 74.38% of 14,459. The group matters as well: regular Science candidates under these codes passed at 82.08% and General candidates at 63.2%. A school that holds back weaker students, or has them sit privately, will post a higher rate than one that enters its whole class. Ask how many students began Class 9 with the school and how many sat Class 10 under its code.

Affiliation is not the same as a strong Matric programme. Some well-known school names hold BISE Gujranwala codes in Sialkot but entered very small Matric classes in 2026: The City School's Iqbal and girls' campuses entered 9 and 6 candidates, Beaconhouse's boys' and girls' codes 3 and 6, Lahore Grammar School on Said Pur Road 3 each, and Roots International High School on Aziz Shaheed Road 8 and 4. A small Matric entry can mean a campus puts most students on another track, so ask. Our O Level guide for Sialkot covers the Cambridge options.

SchoolNama's own Sialkot data cannot do this filtering for you yet, and we would rather say so. We hold 62 Sialkot listings, all of them basic profiles, and 36 have no curriculum recorded. All 26 listings tagged Matric are public institutions, and the tag is unreliable: seven are primary schools, and five are colleges or commerce and polytechnic institutes. None of our 34 private listings has a curriculum recorded. Gender and type are shaky too: 48 listings are recorded as co-ed, including a women's college, and at least two listings with government school names are recorded as private. Where our listings match the board's table, such as Govt. Arabic High School, which entered 18 candidates, and Govt. Christian Higher Secondary School in the Cantt, which entered 58, the result figures come from the board, not from us.

Fees are where the evidence is thinnest. SchoolNama holds no fee record for any Sialkot listing, and we have not used fee figures from aggregator sites because we could not trace them to the schools. Ask each school for a written first-year cost that includes admission, security, annual charges, and board registration and exam fees. Board charges have just risen: BISE Gujranwala's notification No. 59/26, dated 24 September 2026, raised the SSC admission fee for a regular candidate (single part, Science and Arts with practical) from Rs 700 to Rs 900, and the processing fee charged at admission for Classes 9 to 12 from Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,300, with effect from 19 September 2026.

Marks matter less than several other things. Board fit comes first: a Cantonment school on FBISE and a school on BISE Gujranwala prepare students for different papers and timetables. Science or General matters too, since the two groups' pass rates under Sialkot codes differed by almost 19 points. Many private groups in Sialkot, including Allied School, Dar-e-Arqam, Sialkot Grammar, The Educators and The Smart School, enter candidates under separate boys' and girls' codes at many campuses, so check how Classes 9 and 10 are organised at the one you visit. If your child is in Class 9 now, the board's overview of the 2026 Class 9 result shows 63,864 candidates from Sialkot district appeared and 45.83% passed, against 46.66% across the board. For government schools, the Punjab School Education Department's schools portal is the official starting point.

Commute is the last check, especially if you are weighing a school in Daska, Pasrur or Sambrial against one in the city. SchoolNama does not yet list any pick-and-drop providers or tutors in Sialkot, so ask each school about its own vans and try the journey at school time. Once you have two or three candidates, SchoolNama's Sialkot city page and compare page show 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.
