DAMMAM, 2 June — International Indian School, Dammam, has once again outshoned Indian schools in Jeddah and Riyadh as results of the Grade 10 of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) declared Thursday shows.
The school achieved 100 percent result as compared to Riyadh 98 and Jeddah 99.7 percent.

In all 329 students from Dammam school appeared out of which only five were in the compartmental list with no failures.
In Riyadh school 287 students appeared, three failed and 38 were in the compartmental list. Jeddah fared better than Riyadh where a total of 415 students appeared only one failed but 49 students were in the compartmental list.
The top three positions among the three schools also went to Dammam school. Arshi Basit topped the list with 93.4 percent. Bindya Thomas stood second with 93 percent and Sonia Joseph came third with 92.8 percent. The Jeddah school topper Vipin Vinod scored 92.4 percent.
The other top-scorers at the Dammam school are — Zainab Bano (90.8 percent), Shobin Shuja Abraham (90.6 percent), Reema Saba Muneer (90.2 percent) and Maseema Moinuddin (90 percent).
The school Chairman Dr. S.V.R Rao said “ I am proud of my children and my teaching staff... I am just overwhelmed”. A beaming school principal Group Capt. Muhammad Anwar was in total ecstasy. “ It is like dream come true. Well done children”.
Interestingly, the overall performance of the girls is also better than the boys as all the compartmentalists are boys.
