Do many families from the Nizampet side send their children to Akshara International in Suchitra?

A colleague on my team has two children at Akshara International School in Suchitra and talks about it a lot, mostly good things. Our daughter is at daycare and nowhere near school age, so this is very early thinking, but I've started a list of schools people mention. What I can't tell is whether it's mostly a neighbourhood school for Suchitra and Kompally families, or whether people come from further out. Is anyone going from Nizampet or Pragathi Nagar? And how do the small ones cope with the ride?

    For nursery and primary I'd keep the ride under 30 minutes. Beyond that you are choosing a bus, not a school. I teach, and the children who come from far are tired by the second period.

      30 min in this city is 5 km on a good day. nizampet to suchitra at 8 am isn't 30 min in any version i've driven

      Our elder one did a 50 minute bus ride from class 1 because we wanted that school. She got used to it within a month. The surprise was how early she had to sleep, and how little of the evening was left for anything else. So it's possible, but count what it costs the evening.

      We're at the same early stage with our son and everyone has told us the same 30-minute rule. The catch is that the schools people recommend are never 30 minutes away. I've started doing it the other way round: list what's close, and visit those first.

      Replying to @moss_violin_4478

      That's a sensible order. One thing to separate is the bus time a school quotes and the actual time for the first stop on the route. I drive through Suchitra from Bowenpally often, and the junction alone can change a morning. That's the roads talking, not the school.
