R2I forum post on Kondar pur schools Kondapur area has basically 3-4 schools in immediate vicinity. List is in order of colseness to area
Chirec
Merdian ( they opened one new campus in Madhapur area)
DPS
OAKRDGE
SRINIDHI
Other schools a bit further away that have good reputation is Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. This school does not have transport to Kondapur area.Among reasonable prices its a very good school. It has been consistently maintaining its reputation since 1980's.
I myself am a product of that school and willing to put my kids in there IF vacancy is available.
INTERNATIONAL school (banjara hills...somewhere near punjagutta circle)

coming to where the transition is easy for your kid,
OAKRIDGE
DPS
CHIREC
International School

These schools would be ideal for you to try. I think admissions are over for
OAKRIDGE but you can call them and ask,
as of Jan 30th 2007 I was informed there were not vacancy in DPS or CHIREC but around april time frame they would have a better picture of vacany situation.April last week Bharatiya vidya bhavan (BVB jubliee hills) will start their admission process.
Cost Oakridge tops the list in fees followed by DPS, CHIREC, Meridian (about the same) and later BVB.

Hyderabad Schools - October 14, 2005
Schools: Akil is going to Oakridge International School. To our surprise, Akil seems to adjust fairly well and he has already made a few friends at home and school. Since Akil took SPANISH as second language and Hindi as third language, there is no issue with three language system. CBSE syllabus only requires three languages until 9th class. Oakridge is the only school that I am aware which offers Spanish. There are quite a few schools offer French or Sanskrit. We surveyed Delhi Public School, Srinidhi, Chirec, Orchids and decide to go along with Oakridge.

Orchids: Located near Jubliee Hills Checkpost, small school so you get quite a bit of personal attention. Unfortunately, it does not have much space for extra circular activities.

Srinidhi: Located near Jubliee Hills Checkpost, small school so you get quite a bit of personal attention. Unfortunately, it does not have much space for extra curcullar activities. Srinidhi is moving their campus to Gandipet area next year on 30 acre land. I believe Srinidhi is going to be the best school in City. However, we don't want to deal with relocation.

Delhi Public School: DPS folks did not even allow us to visit campus. DPS already has over 1700 kids, they have 35 to 40 kids in each section so it was not an option for us.

Chirec: Sudha liked Chirec the best. It seems to have right balance between local (high-middle class) and NRI kids. Chirec does not have Spanish as second language and they have alternate Saturday school so we did not like six day schooling.

Oakridge: At present time, this is the most expensive school in Hyderabad. Everytime I visit school, I don't quite feel Oakridge as a school. In my mind, all of the kids are rich/spoiled brats. Among all the schools that we surveyed, Oakridge offered the most so we joined Akil. 5 day a week school, offers Spanish as second language, try to maintain 25 max kids per section, only school with proper tennis court and swimming pool, offers violin, dance etc. Despite the fact Oakridge does not represent reasonable demographics of students, we joined Akil due to above mentioned reasons. One more factor, all damn schools mandate school uniforms. Oakridge school uniform is less churchish - this is another factor for us.

I heard about Future Kids, at present time, it is really a Chettu Kinda Badi (School under the tree). Kennedy High, DRS, Ivy League are good schools for NRI kids if they want on-site accommodation.

Akil is doing well in 6th class despite missing first-term so I am guessing any NRI kid will be OK if they return before 8th class.
