How these figures are calculated
We use the annual fees schools publish on their PickMySchool profiles (6 of 23 schools in Chennai). Each school counts once, at the middle of its fee range; the median is the middle school, and "most schools" is the middle half. Medians and fee bands are shown once at least 5 schools in a city publish fees; until then we show each school's fees and Tamil Nadu figures for comparison. Fees change every academic year, so confirm with the school. Featured listings do not affect these figures.
