Lucknow city schools namely City Montessori School, St. Francis’s College and Christ Church College show an increase in the overall pass percentage in the Council exams for the academic year of 2019-2020. However, this bettered performance did not receive its due recognition as the council did not declare the toppers list this year.

Banners and Newsletters go Digital
Though City Montessori School organises a ‘Victory Meet’ in the school campus every year for all its students scoring over 90%, the norms of social distancing did not permit the authorities to conduct one this year. This however did not stop the administration from congratulating their achievers and various video calls between teachers, students and Principles were conducted as soon as the results were declared. The school official website published a newsletter stating this year’s performance have surpassed their own previous records.

All these subject, according to schools and students, help increase the percentage.
