Angul, Odisha: EducationWorld India's School Rankings 2026–27 have placed ODM International School, Angul in two places that matter to local families: first in Angul, and 17th across Odisha, in the Day-cum-Boarding School category. For parents searching for the best schools in Angul, the result offers both a local and a statewide reference point.

Dr Satyabrata Minaketan, Chairman of ODM Educational Group, received the honours on behalf of the institution at an awards ceremony held at Hotel Pullman, New Delhi.

First in Angul, 17th in Odisha

The two ranks tell different stories. First, Angul says the school leads its own town. Being 17th in Odisha says it holds its own when set against schools across the state, many of them in much larger cities.

Together, they suggest that a strong school does not have to be in a big city to be measured against the best.

Values Practised, Not Just Taught

Rankings capture results, but families in Angul often ask what kind of people a school helps their children become. On 21st September 2026, students of Classes VIII and IX marked the International Day of Peace with a session featuring videos of Malala Yousafzai, whose words recast peace as a shared responsibility rather than a distant ideal.

The session ended on a simple note: every individual can contribute to a more peaceful world through empathy, respect and positive action. This is a small example of the everyday culture that parents look for in the best schools in Angul.
